F-Secure Freedome antivirus beta
Congratulations – you are about to be the one of the first to test F-Secure’s new App Security in the cloud
F-Secure Freedome is introducing brand-new antivirus technology that is fully cloud-based and relies on information submitted by its users. The more Freedome users there are, the better and faster you are protected.
Unlike traditional antivirus products, the protection is not based on scanning every app in the device and regular virus definition updates, which can slow down your device. Instead, Freedome checks the safety of every app based on its reputation in the cloud, and only if the app is unknown, it is uploaded to the cloud for scanning. This means that Freedome App security is always up-to-date, light on resource consumption in your device, and gives you the best protection.
Freedome App security is now in beta testing. Currently, we have limited the scanning to take place over WLAN only, but mobile scanning will be enabled soon.
Try it out and feel free to share the beta program with your friends as well.
Please send your comments and feedback to freedome-android-beta@f-
Freedome supports Android 4.0.3 and later versions.
