Great freebie on F-Secure SAFE Internet security:

Set your favourite VPN to a UK location (I use Windscribe)
Go to https://my.f-secure.com/login
Register for a new account 30 day trial.
Once your account is confirmed, go to your account setting and enter subscription code CUCBP-ZOBQO-UZFQR-ZBEQM
Voila, you should now have a valis 3 years subscription.

This code will also stack with any existing codes for people with an existing F-Secure account. I have about 4 years on my licence now.

Again as per my previous post original credit must go to the Malwaretips forum:

    Is this deal like that Kaspersky thing from a year ago? Like one public key but it wasn't intended for mass distribution??

    Is this AV actually any good? seems to get mediocre reviews from what I have read so far. Quite interested as my ESET Internet Security subscription has ended and there aren't any $3 keys from HT available at the moment, but switching AV systems can be a bit risky so I don't want to bother unless it's worth it…

        I had ESET and found it to slow my PC and after uninstalling, left a few annoying things on their like an Outlook add-on error that i had to drill down into the registry to get rid of, cant remember the other few issues, but was damn annoying.

      That's not an antivirus. Different product that is designed to find malware on your system. Usually used in conjunction with antivirus. But if you are not visiting questionable sites the windows protection is enough. But if you live adventurously then extra protection of all kinds is recommended. 😋

      Nothing wrong with KeePass

    • TheMoose on 10/02/2022 - 14:59

      Agree with alidli - nothing wrong with Keepass.
      However, while Keepass is fine for me…..for my family it'd be too hard and they won't do it.

      Thus, if you want an "enterprise" grade one, 1password has a US $20 discount on at the moment. https://blog.1password.com/keep-your-heart-safe-with-1passwo…
      I pay $65/year for the entire family to use 1password, so I know they aren't re-using the same passwords. $65/year may sound a lot for some folks, but for 4 ppl that's a pretty decent deal…..a couple of coffee's each. It gets used many times daily. No brainer.

      • snep on 11/02/2022 - 09:37

        I'm curious, what about keepass is considered too hard by your average user?

        • TheMoose on 11/02/2022 - 09:45

          <disclaimer> I haven't used Keepass for a few years now, so things may have improved.

          But it doesn't (or didn't) have proper integration into phones, Mac's, etc.
          No app. integration and autofill never existed/worked even in the browser - things that take the hassle out of constantly entering passwords into sites and app's.

          I used Lastpass for a few years also, and 1password and Lastpass are just much easier to use overall for the average user.
          Them also having integration into other products like Watchtower and HIBP to ensure your password or the site has not been compromised is also a win for average punters.

          Lastpass lost me when they sold out to LogMeIn - although they recently announced they are being spun off again. <shrug>.

          • snep on 11/02/2022 - 10:16

            @TheMoose: Yeah okay. I think most of those complaints are handled either by plugins (browser autofill etc) and community ports like keepassxc, but I can see why other solutions are more simple and work "out of the box". Also doesn't help that the keepass interface hasn't really changed in decades.

            Though I haven't tried it myself, these days I usually recommend Bitwarden to friends/family, as it seems to be more of a complete product in the vein of commercial offerings like 1password while still being free (for personal use at least) and open source. Could be worth a look to potentially save the 1password cost, small as it is.

            • TheMoose on 11/02/2022 - 10:54

              @snep: A mate looked into BW last year but it was missing 1 or 2 keys things we both wanted/needed; can't recall what they all were though except that the families option/shared vaults (which I use extensively) is not free - US$40/yr - so almost the same cost as 1password (actually more, if you use the discount link I posted earlier).
              Again, it will improve over time and may have those other things soon.

              The other potential issue with BW is that although it's open source, meaning the code can be audited - that doesn't mean that it is - but it can also be checked for flaws/vulnerabilies by bad actors and then exploited.
              We all saw last year the sh!tstorm that happened with openssl being maintained by only 2 ppl, but used by hundreds of thousands of applications/organisations. There were some severe code deficiencies for many years simply because no-one looked/audited.
              Those 2 guys were doing their best (and an awesome job too) in their spare time, but vulnerbilities crept in nonetheless.

              A commercial product doesn't guarantee there won't be similar issues but at least they are on the hook and they pay their programmers so it's expected that they will have some form of auditing done, and the code can't be inspected by people you don't want looking.
              Possibly an important distinction for something that holds ALL your passwords, credit-cards, etc.

              • snep on 11/02/2022 - 12:13

                @TheMoose: Yeah if the free version of Bitwarden doesn't meet your needs that's fair enough.

                It's an interesting and unresolved point regarding open source security.

                Ultimately an actor, good or bad, is still perfectly able to find and exploit weaknesses in closed source software via various methods (fuzzing, reverse engineering binaries, etc). Open sourcing makes this process somewhat easier for both black and white hats. Whether that is a benefit or a detriment seems to depend on who you ask…

                You can take examples from either side: there are plenty of times "obvious flaws" have been found in both open and closed-source software, sometimes quietly disclosed and fixed, other times exploited in the wild.

                I think ultimately the security practices are more important than the means of distribution: a program that's been designed with security in mind from the start, with a robust code review and auditing system applied throughout, and proper channels for disclosures/bug bounties is the best we can hope for. Most reputable projects, open source or closed, aim for this.

                I'm not convinced that commercial closed-source software is likely to have better security practices simply because they're a commercial operation. Lazy devs and poor practice can happen anywhere, whether you're being paid or not.

                Openssl was a particularly egregious example, had been criticised for years before heartbleed for the poor quality code — and the sheer amount of it, >300k lines 0.0 — and has since been comprehensively refactored. Obviously it would have been nice if that happened sooner… but I think (hope?) lessons were learned.

                I struggled to find much relevant empirical research, but this paper found no significant difference in the duration/severity of unpatched vulnerabilities across a small selection of widely used open vs closed software.

                • TheMoose on 11/02/2022 - 16:02

                  @snep: Agreed - neither open/closed is better by default.

                  The openssl example only adds weight to what I'm saying - if people were pointing out issues for such a long time and nothing was done about them for such a critical security component baked into so many products…..why not? Skilled people noticed, and no-one did anything.
                  That makes one sometimes wonder about the 'openness' of open source. As you say - hopefully lessons have been learned.
