[FM Discuss] Basic Internet Security translation?

[Tomi Toivio]

This manual is just right, it contains exactly the kind of stuff that is
needed right now.

If there are only minor changes to the programs the update is pretty much
done when you take localized screenshots of the interface.

(Then again the screenshot stuff is sometimes horrible, since there are
several different operating systems and many programs are often localized
only partially...)
