F‑Secure Online Scanner helps to get rid of viruses and spyware that may cause problems on your PC.

The best we can tell, it scanned my memory and the Windows and Users folders and not much else. The scan took just one minute on a high-speed computer, and when nothing was found, it took me to the F-Secure page to sell me on F-Secure products. At this point, we downloaded a virus and placed it in the Users and Windows folder, and the program did not find it. Since this easily downloadable test virus is well known, F-Secure should have easily found it. Screenshot #3 below shows the dummyvir placed in the Users folder.

We can't be sure at this point if it's just useful for memory scanning or if it's nothing more than a program designed to sell their products. F-Secure has a stellar reputation, so we assume it has a niche we didn't find.
