Norman Virus Control 5.6

Norman Data Defense Systems, a leader in the field of data security, announced today that Norman Virus Control (NVC) has received yet another Virus Bulletin 100% Award, making its anti-virus products among the highest performing on the market. The June 2003 VB 100% Award has been given to NVC for its performance in aWindows XP Professional comparative review.

Norman has received 21 Virus Bulletin 100% Awards since 1998, a higher total than that of Symantec, Computer Associates, Sophos, Network Associates (McAfee), Kaspersky, F Secure, Panda, Trend and others.

"Norman Virus Control continues to perform at the highest level in Virus Bulletin tests which means that small and medium sized businesses, our core market, are guaranteed a quality anti-virus product," stated Hank Dugan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Norman Data Defense Systems, the North American subsidiary of Norman ASA. "NVC combines high performance with personalized customer care, delivery, and pricing — all customized to meet the special needs of the SMB (small, medium business) market."

In the next several weeks, Norman will be introducing a new AV technology which will offer a first-of-its-kind capability to catch and clean new, unknown viruses and worms before they infect computers and before pattern files have even been written. This new virus detection technology will be integrated in NVC 5.6.

Norman Virus Control has a consistent record of rating highly in product tests, including Checkmark Certification from West Coast Labs, on detecting and cleaning viruses and has won twenty-one 100% Virus Bulletin Awards since 1998. Norman’s virus scan engine has been licensed to a host of companies and institutions, including Sybari Software, and protects millions of workstations.

The Virus Bulletin 100% Award is given to products that detect all "in the wild" viruses during both on-demand and on-access scanning in certain Virus Bulletin tests. Virus Bulletin has tested the world’s leading anti-virus products since 1998. Tests are carried out every second month and are widely recognized within the industry. The comparatives tend to focus on virus detection rates, scanning speed and, more recently, performance overhead of on-access or resident scanning components.
