Is it expected to have both F-Secure and WithSecure services running for Elements Agent?

Issue:

Is it expected to have both F-Secure and WithSecure services running when WithSecure Elements Agent is installed on a Windows computer? Some Elements Agent related services are still running under the "F-Secure" name on the Windows devices. 

Resolution:

Yes, it is expected to have both WithSecure and F-Secure named services running, as these components are common for both F-Secure and WithSecure, hence the name has been kept.

Currently, the following Elements Endpoint Protection services are still using F-Secure name:

  • F-Secure Ultralight Hoster (fsulhoster)
  • F-Secure Ultralight Network Hoster (fsulnethoster)
  • F-Secure Ultralight Protected Hoster (fsulprothoster)

The following Elements Agent services are using the WithSecure name:

  • WithSecure Device Control (fsdevcon)
  • WithSecure Hoster (fshoster)
  • WithSecure Hoster (Restricted) (fsnethoster)
