Windows Process Description:

The F-secure Antivirus program contains the fsaa.exe file in its software package. The fsaa.exe process is the authenticating agent of the antivirus program housing it. This only means that the fsaa.exe file is needed in order for the F-Secure program to establish an authenticated session with the data base server. The fsaa.exe file's main function is to create and to store private keys used by a client to access authentication servers. Also, the fsaa.exe process is also essential to ensure that the main program is kept updated.

The F-Secure Internet Security provides a complete protection against all Internet threats, whether they are known or previously unidentified. It can secure your computer through its virus protection features, internet filtering options, and filtering of automatic updates made by your existing applications. This internet security program supports Windows Vista operating system, and uses less system resources, thus making it faster and lighter.

It is highly recommended to leave the fsaa.exe file running on the startup list to make sure that the main program receives the full benefits of the file's functionality. The startup entry of the fsaa.exe file is also known as fsaa, and is started automatically from a Run, RunOnce, RunServices, or RunServicesOnce entry in the registry.

When executed, the fsaa.exe process will call upon the necessary .exe and .dll files associated with the F-Secure program in order to make authentication. Therefore, removal of the fsaa.exe process is definitely not required especially if you have the F-Secure program installed in your computer. If accidentally removed, the main program may not be of good use to your computer anymore since it cannot provide the outmost security you need without the proper authentication agent.

In some cases, disguised malware programs may use the file fsaa.exe as an adopted name. To avoid malware-related problems, you must check whether the F-Secure program is installed in your computer. If there are no F-Secure programs installed, then it may be safe to assume that the fsaa.exe file you have is not authentic, thus immediate removal is then necessary. Otherwise, you should not remove nor alter this file. Moreover, it is always best to do a full system scan using updated and trusted anti-malware tools.
