THanks to +Examinus ill pass! i have firewall, and antivirus! all free and no problems, also i think " - A free six-month subscription during which you will automatically receive latest updates to the product" is abit of joke, for testing your software to find out problems and issues! and as a Neowin Partner I would expect more...

Well, we're a new partner. Just settling in. What would make it a win for you?

I'm not sure, but I think the process is called fsmac, and it should be a 32-bit process. I don't know much about the inner workings of this software, but I can offer suggestions in the meantime. :3

I suppose you could just delete the data from the Applications folder, and then go into root/Library and delete the 'F-Secure' folder.

There may be other files though.

Thanks for your help, jamesyfx! I'm working on an answer for this.

I'll give it a go. I don't think I'd want real time protection, maybe just the option to do a one off scan every so often. Is that possible?

We don't have a Mac version of our Online Scanner, yet. So this real-time protection isn't probably for you.

+1 couldn't have said it better

Noted! Thanks.

Will give this a go when I'm back at home :) Even if you guys don't end up using this yourselves yet, I'm pleased to be able to give feedback to stop it turning into some of the disastrous Windows anti-virus products we've seen from various companies in the past.

If you want people's interest, you must make it look like a native app. Install it as a prefpane or something. People don't want hideous gradient styles in OS X.

Thanks. That makes sense.

Really appreciate the feedback.

Hey I just want a good AV on my Mac partition so I can use it to scan for viruses on my Windows partition. Nothing wrong with that. As some of you guys may know, it can be hell of a difficult to get rid of some persistent viruses on Windows partitions that are already open and running, so being able to scan them when they are shut down is much better.

I don't want anything on the mac side that takes up resources and install's running processes that cause it to suck up performance fretting over a problem that just doesn't exist though. All I want is a good AV to scan my bootcamp partition from the Mac side and that's it.

Ill try it tommorrow in the morning, bed time for me now lol :)

so hows it working for you!

Think is i think this software would be good but at the same time there are free alternatives.

However the feeling i get from av scanners for Macs etc, it's not so much to protect that mac, as who bothers to write viruses for something that don't have that much market share. It's more to stop any viruses going from Mac to say a windows network etc
