Questions about the Internet Security WOW advantage

Who can take advantage of the WOW offer?

All UPC customers who have UPC Internet can benefit from the 9 free months. If you do not have UPC Internet, you can order an Internet subscription and then book the Security WOW offer.

Unfortunately, customers who already have an Internet Security subscription cannot benefit from the promotion.

How can I order the Internet Security WOW offer?

An UPC Internet subscription is required to use Internet Security. If you already have such a subscription, you can simply order Internet Security at My UPC. It's even easier if you click on the "Log in now and order" button at the top of this page. During the promotion period, you automatically receive the first 9 months free of charge. 

What happens when the 9 months of free use are over?

After 9 months, your free subscription automatically becomes a regular subscription. You then pay the regular price of CHF 5.-/month.

I don't want to continue using Internet Security after the 9 free months. How can I terminate and what deadlines must I observe?

You can simply cancel your Internet Security subscription if you no longer wish to use it. Note, however, that you have a notice period of 2 months to the end of the month.

Will my Internet subscription also be cancelled if I cancel Internet Security?

No, the two contracts are independent of each other. If you cancel Internet Security, your Internet subscription will continue with the regular minimum contract period.

Do I have a minimum contract period with Internet Security after the 9 free months?

No, but a notice period of 2 months applies. You can cancel the Security package at any time, but with a notice period of 2 months from the end of the month.

How do I use Banking Protection (e-banking)?

When activated, Banking Protection adds another layer of security when banking online and/or carrying out online money transactions. 

When using Banking Protection, every website you enter is checked by querying a Security Cloud (certificates and encryption used) to make sure it is trustworthy and secure. By carrying out this check, Banking Protection receives information about whether the site is listed as one of our trusted banking sites or not. If it is, a notification is shown indicating that you are entering a secure online banking site.  

When you start your next online banking session, Banking Protection is automatically activated again.

Note: On the PC, Banking Protection offers an elevated level of security. Once you have started an online banking session and Banking Protection mode has been activated, Banking Protection disconnects all untrusted applications from the Internet and prevents them from reconnecting while on a trusted banking site. Blocking connections prevents hijacking of your banking sessions keeping your money safe. You can also only access websites that are considered safe during a banking session, otherwise they will be blocked.

Note: To benefit from the Banking Protection feature on Android devices, the UPC Internet Security Safe Browser app needs to be in use.

How did I still get a virus when I’m using UPC Internet Security?

No anti-virus software can guarantee to be 100% effective against all future viruses. To make sure you are protected you need to be careful and use a combination of anti-virus, anti-spyware and a firewall, and take care on the internet. We recommend that you apply all Windows updates and continue to be careful when online, especially with regard to emails with attachments from people you don't know.

Is UPC Internet Security slowing down my devices?

UPC Internet Security uses the latest DeepGuard technology from F-Secure to keep you pro-actively protected against all the latest threats using minimal system resources. As a result you will experience very minimal impact on your systems performance.

However, if you’re experiencing slow performance while using UPC Internet Security you should make sure your computer or device meets the minimum system requirements, or ideally the recommended specification. For more details, please see here.
