SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2004

F-Secure(R) Corporation (HEX:FSC), a leading provider of antivirus and security software, announced today that it has been selected by Charter Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:CHTR) to provide Charter's High-Speed(TM) Internet Service customers with fully managed antivirus and security software that can be purchased as a monthly service subscription. With operations in 37 states, Charter is a leading cable television operator in the United States, and a provider of high-speed Internet services.

"Individual consumers, as well as small businesses, often lack expertise or time to manage and update their own computer security software," said Travis Witteveen, Vice President of U.S. operations for F-Secure. "By working with companies like Charter to offer automated online security services to their customers, we help people avoid the ever-growing threat of computer viruses."

"We continually look for ways to improve our products," said Jeff Jay, Vice President of Product Development for Charter Communications. "Being able to offer simple, automatic antivirus and security protection is a real bonus for our customers and a huge differentiator for Charter."

"We chose F-Secure's hosted security services for three reasons: their technology is ideally suited for service providers like us. F-Secure has proven itself repeatedly with their track record of over twenty successful deployments worldwide. Finally, their world-class antivirus research lab has a track record of responding faster to new virus threats than many other Security Software providers," added Jay.

F-Secure's suite of services includes: antivirus protection, personal firewall, parental controls and anti-spam controls.

Charter is piloting the security protection services starting this month, and will soon offer the services to all of its 1.6 million high-speed data customers. For Charter's 3 meg customers, there will be no additional charge for the security services.
