Norman Virus Control version v5.6 (NVC v5.6)
New viruses appear on a daily basis and you or your business could be the next victim. Be prepared to meet these threats in a professional way.
NVC v5.6 is an anti-virus program that protects your PCs, workstations and servers against malicious software, also referred to as malware. When infected files are detected, NVC isolates or removes them immediately - before the destructive code is activated.
The single most important task for an anti-virus application is to keep computers virus-free. Norman incorporates its revolutionary Sandbox technology with its renowned scanning engine, further increasing NVCs ability to detect both known and unknown viruses, including trojans and worms.
The unique US patent pending, Norman SandBox v2 has been added to the Norman On-Demand scanner module. In its second generation, Norman SandBox is capable of detecting even more new viruses, worms etc. even one-off variants will be detected. The Norman SandBox inserts any suspicious file into a virtual computer, a "sandbox", monitoring the actions of the file in real-time. If virus behaviour is detected, the SandBox performs the necessary actions to prevent damage from the virus.
Norman Internet Update (NIU)
NIU is an integrated part of the product and can be configured to regularly check for new and updated files on Norman's product servers. NIU offers complete updating and upgrading of the software to ensure that virus definitions are kept up to date and that you are always running the latest version of the software. The NIU uses incremental updates of definition files to keep the size of the updates as small as possible, thereby reducing the network load and increase the speed for distributing updates. Equally important is the possibility of distributing the updated program immediately to all workstations in the network, and to all remote users upon their next connection to the designated Norman distribution server within your organisation or by direct connection to the Internet.
