Norman Virus Control (NVC) is a collection of antivirus software applications and utilities that protect workstations, servers and gateways against malicious software. The most prevalent types of malware are computer viruses, worms, and trojans.
The single most important task for antivirus software is to keep computers free from viruses. NVC is based on the advanced core technologies of Norman’s Scanning Engine, which accurately detects known and unknown computer viruses, worms and trojans. When infected files are detected, NVC cleans, isolates or deletes them immediately before the destructive code is activated.
Key Features & Benefits: On-access and On-demand scanning of files; Norman SandBox II — revolutionary way to detect new and unknown malware; Automatic updates over the Internet — complete product and incremental updates of definition files; Proactive email and newsgroup scanning.
Norman’s SandBox technology detects new and unknown computer viruses, including trojans and worms. Today, an email worm can infect tens of thousands of workstations in a matter of seconds. Norman’s SandBox is a virtual world where everything is simulated. An emulator provides an environment where possible virus infected executables “run” just as they would do on a real system. When execution stops, the SandBox is analyzed for changes. The SandBox is particularly tuned to find new email-, network- and peer-to-peer worms.
On-access scanning involves con-stant monitoring of the file system on servers and workstations. For an antivirus application, it is imperative to detect and block a computer virus before it is activated. Whenever a file is accessed in a read/ write operation, or a program is executed, the On-access scanner is notified and scans the file on the fly. Management: NVC v5 easy to install and administer in a small LAN as it is in an enterprise WAN. NVC v5 gives new meaning to TCO (“Total Cost of Ownership”). Norman Virus Control v5 has four fundamental characteristics: — Simplified installation — Simplified management — Invisibility — Updates via the Internet.
Operating systems supported: Windows 95/98; Wndows Me/NT/ 2000; XP; OS/2; Linux
