Installing F-Secure

Print   Email  

Summary

Every new WildBlue customer must have an active anti-virus and anti-spyware program installed on their computer before the installer connects them to the WildBlue Network. The WildBlue Welcome Kit contains a CD with the WildBlue Security Center, provided by F-Secure. WildBlue provides this service to you free for the first 12 months of your contract.

This article describes the installation process for the WildBlue Security Center.
