This is the first post on this blog about cyber security and not only and today I'm writing about that F-Secure is using Windows Firewall in it's version 2013 instead of it's own.
Today I have registered for F-Secure beta test (F-Secure Internet Security 2013) and was surprised that it was written that now Windows Firewall with some additional filters is used in version 2012. As most a bit advances users know, Windows Firewall isn't a high quality product. So why have they decided to use it? I cannot answer this question for sure so I will ask F-Secure, but I don't think I will get a reply... But still.
You can read it in original here. Bellow is the screenshot:
Ok. The latest anti-malware.ru Russian test laboratory test: Microsoft’s solutions (Microsoft Security Essentials + its firewall) showed the same result as F-Secure – both had a score 7 out of 17.
Hado skazat’, the results are surprising: Matousec tests always showed a different situation! E.g., Outpost, OnlineArmor always had good results. The test was performed in June 2012, so at the moment of writing this post it’s the newest one. And also, I hope, Anti-Malware.Ru doesn’t take money for its tests and Matousec does, so… BUT. In this test sth else was tested, ISP/IDS, not proactive security as in Matousec’s tests. So, now everything gets clear. Firewall software isn’t good at preventing DDos, for example, but such cases aren’t common for home users and small business.
And here are the results of the test performed by the same test lab in September 2011. The situation is like Matousec’s tests, the results are similar, but here Microsoft has worse results than F-Secure.
So, why is F-Secure going to use Windows Firewall with additional filters instead of its own technology?
Wait for the next part of the story. Maybe they used not their own technology before? The investigation is continuing :)
