On–access scanning

On–access scanning involves constant monitoring of the file system on the workstations. For antivirus software, it is imperative to detect and block malware 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 automatically. If malware is found the following options are available:

• clean
• remove
• warn only
• ignore

The real time monitor goes beyond what other security suites offer by adding a proactive layer of protection to your system. It runs silently in the background, watching for malware/parasites that try to install on or modify your system.

While the real–time monitor detects and cleans your system from known malware and advertising parasites, our real–time monitor goes even further by catching these programs before they can integrate into your system, acing like a “spyware” firewall.

You can lock the start–up sections of your registry, block possible and actual browser hijack attempts, block suspicious processes, lock executable file associations, block malicious cookies, block pop–ups, and using the all new CSI technology it can protect you from unknown variants as well

Norman SandBox technology for detection of new and unknown viruses, worms and trojans

Norman 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. The antivirus vendors are expected to find the cure, update the virus definition files, and distribute these to their customers immediately. The need for speed is paramount. Norman SandBox is a virtual world where everything is emulated. 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. Norman SandBox was selected as the best proactive antivirus solution available by AV–Test GmbH, the results of the test were presented at the Virus Bulletin conference in Chicago late September 2004.

Connection security to prevent unauthorised access to and from your computer

Norman Internet Control closely monitors every application that attempts a connection to the Internet/network. Each application is automatically assigned its own
