Using the Internet safely

This chapter explains how Browsing Protection works and how you can set it up.

Browsing protection helps you evaluate the safety of web sites you visit and prevents you from accessing harmful web sites unintentionally.

The product checks the safety of a web site over the air automatically when you access the site. If the site is rated as suspicious or harmful, the product blocks the access to the site. The safety rating of a web site is based on information from several sources, such as F-Secure malware analysts and F-Secure partners.

To change the product settings:

  1. In the main view, select Settings.

The product takes the new settings into use immediately.
