Network Computing UK reviewed F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security and appreciated the complete set of Internet security measures the product has, "Any network security product that attempts to cover such a large area always takes the risk of spreading itself too thinly, but F-Secure looks to have avoided this pitfall. It provides one of the most comprehensive collections of Internet security measures that can be deployed easily to the desktop, and combines this with good centralised management." Network Computing, UK, September 2003 F-Secure Internet Security 2004 won the second place in a German review by PCgo magazine, issue 02/04.

"Internet Security 2004 is a combined anti-virus program and personal firewall. It was one of the best performers in our virus tests, detecting every single one of the viruses, scripts and Trojans thrown at it. Only F-Secure`s professional Anti-Virus Client Security and Kaspersky Lab`s Personal and Personal Pro programs were similarly impressive."
