F-Secure Total for Mac has been making headlines lately, but unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons. Reviewers have been left apprehensive about its overall protection, with substantial room for improvement, particularly when compared to its Windows counterpart. In this review, we’ll go over the pros and cons of F-Secure Total for Mac, what features it offers, and how it performs.

The Conficker worm or Conficker virus (also known as Downadup or W32/Downadup), which has been in the news a lot lately, is currently estimated to have infected more than 9 million Windows computers the world over, and continues to spread at an alarming rate. With a $250,000 bounty on its head offered by Microsoft, and set to activate on April 1st, nobody yet knows what the millions of PCs infected by the Conficker worm will be ordered to do, but it’s a sure bet that if and when it happens, it will be nasty. Fortunately there are ways to combat it and even a free Conficker removal tool.
