My Macbook Pro is running a bit slow at start up. I have found the following installed and wonder do I need it? Can I uninstall without problems?
Installed are the following which I assume are all connected:
com.f-secure.fsavd
com.f-secure.fsmac.guts2downloader
com.f.secure.fsmac.licencetool
com.f-secure.orspclient
Thanks for any help with this question.

To remove leftovers the easiest way is using Find Any File
Download from here: http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Start the app and insert some key words like: f-secure in the search field.
Hold down the Option (Alt) - Key for searching systemwide and hit enter. You need your Admin password for systemwide search.
Remove all leftovers. If you're not sure whether files to remove please post your answer here.
Thank you for that information, a great help. I have downloaded some "free" stuff sometime in the past
it's possible f-secure installed by third party software. I recommended download Malwarebytes for Mac to check whether your mac Adware free.
I have discovered where it came from. My Broadband provider offered free internet security particularly aimed at scam banking etc. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
