F-Secure is the honest-pricing pick here: Total renews at the same price a new customer pays, and two years of Internet Security for five devices cost $124.99. It covers Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone. But the VPN, password vault and identity monitoring only come with Total, and the free option is just a scanner. - **Value for money: C.** Internet Security for 5 devices is $124.99 for 2 years, about $5.21 a month, just above the dearer quarter of antivirus. Total for 5 is $149.99 for 2 years and renews at that same price, which hardly any rival here promises. - **Free plan and trial: C.** The free Online Scanner cleans a Windows PC on demand but doesn't guard it, and Total has a 30-day free trial. Nothing free protects you day to day. - **Features: B.** Antivirus, ransomware, banking and scam protection on every plan, with scam text filtering on phones. Total adds an unlimited VPN, a password vault and identity monitoring. The VPN's kill switch skips the iPhone. - **Ease of use: C.** 4.41 from about 490 App Store ratings: middling for this category, and not many people behind it. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone. No web app, API or integration list on record, so it stops at B. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from F-Secure's own pages on 17 October 2026, and its App Store rating. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among antivirus apps - F-Secure's GPA of 2.4 is higher than 4 of the 14 other antivirus apps we grade, and level with 2. - It stands best on features (B, above 4 of 14) and worst on ease of use (C, above 0). - Its paid plans start at $4.17 a month when paid by the year, against a middle price of $4.17 for the category: 4 of the 10 others that charge start lower. - On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.7 out of 4. 3 tools score higher and cost less.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 8 of the 14 other antivirus apps grade higher. It costs $49.99 a year. - You could not: An engine that recognises new malware as it appears. - You could not: Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private. - You could not: A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## What people say - **App Store rating of the iPhone and iPad app:** 4.4 out of 5 from 493 ratings in the United States, read Oct 17, 2026.
