F-Secure for Mac is an antivirus solution for OS X. F-Secure has been around on Windows for many years but it's only recently that a Mac version has been launched. Firstly, note that F-Secure for Mac will not work if you have any other third-party firewalls or antivirus products installed. It works with Leopard OS X 10.5 and above and both 32 and 64 bit Macs.
The other important thing to note F-Secure isn't free - you have to purchase a license key which is around $20 a month. Finally, if you want to uninstall F-Secure, you can't just drag it to the Trash - you have to shut it down completely and use the uninstaller that comes with the program. If that doesn't work, manually uninstall the program by opening a Terminal.app and issuing a command 'sudo /usr/local/f-secure/uninstall_Macprotection'. F-Secure for Mac provides virus and spyware scanning in real-time although F-Secure recommend that you perform a manual scan every 1-2 weeks.
One thing you may notice is that occasionally F-Secure for Mac detects false positives i.e. programs which are harmless to your system. If this happens, you can contact F-Secure directly at https://analysis.f-secure.com/portal/login.html to have it removed. F-Secure Anti-Virus for Mac is automatically updated and displays the latest successful update check time on the Statistics page.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Mac displays a green status icon on the main page to display its protection status. If the indicator is either yellow or red, you will see a warning notification on the top line of the main user interface. F-Secure for Mac is slightly different to F-Secure Internet Security on Windows.
Some features are missing or different because of the specific needs of OS X. In addition, parental control features are already a feature of OS X and so are not needed in F-Secure for Mac like they are in Windows. Overall, F-Secure is solid anti-virus software for Macs but it's debatable whether you actually need a permanent anti-virus solutions on Macs.
