F-secure security updates on staff computers


F-Secure security updates begin on March 27, 2012 on staff computers.

The updates force a restart within two hours after the installation has finished.

If the installation has begun before you have logged on to the computer, you will

not see a restart message although the computer will restart.


Accordingly, you should save all your work when leaving the computer - especially

if the F-Secure icon is not visible in the Notification Area:




If the installation begins after you have logged on to the computer, it will ask you

to restart which you can do right away.


After the computer has restarted, it is in network quarantine untill the virus

definitions have been updated. During of the quarantine network drives are not

connected and the internet and the e-mail cannot be accessed.


The network quarantine lasts for about 5 to 15 minutes. If network drives

continue to be disconnected after this but the internet works, you should restart

the computer.


In case of problems you can contact Helpdesk phone service at 020 783 6969

or make a service request at http://hd.metropolia.fi or send e-mail to helpdesk@metropolia.fi.
