Norman Virus Control 5.82 R4 Single User Edition for Windows 2000/XP/Vista

Norman Virus Control (NVC) is an antivirus program that protects workstations and servers against malicious software, also referred to as malware. The most prevalent types of malware are computer viruses, worms, and trojans. Using the latest antivirus software technologies like the Norman SandBox II, machines can be protected from new and unknown virus threats.
Norman Virus Control uses the revolutionary technology to detect new viruses before pattern files are available. As a part of the Norman Virus Scanner, the Norman SandBox inserts any suspicious file into a simulated computer, complete with emulated network connections, where Norman monitors the actions of the file in real-time, enabling it to behave as if it were in a live environment. If virus behavior is detected and confirmed, Norman will prevent the virus from spreading and causing harm to your system.

The unique Norman SandBox II technology brings protection against viruses, worms and Trojans to new levels, by identifying and stopping malware during the period of time when a new virus begins to circulate before pattern files are available. This goes far beyond how other products can protect you against new virus threats. Emails are scanned for viruses before they reach the mailbox to ensure that viruses do not propagate this way. In addition, downloads from newsgroups can be scanned for malware before they are made available to the user.

Then add Norman Internet Update (NIU), an automatic Internet update mechanism that ensures that your NVC installation is always up-to-date, including incremental updates of definition files, makes NVC the obvious choice for particular users that require real protection from computer malware.

Key features of Norman Virus Control:
* Email scanning for malicious programs
* Real-time scanning of files
* Norman SandBox technology to include detection of unknown viruses, trojans and worms
* Automatic updates over the Internet - complete product and incremental updates of virus definition files

NVC v5.8 includes quite a few changes beneath the surface. In addition to an improved product, this version also serves the task of building a bridge between NVC version 5 and NVC version 6, which is due in the near future.
- The Configuration Editor has been modified to reflect the change from a module-based to a more product-oriented interface using a configuration tree. The NVC 5 modular orientation is not abandoned, but the NVC v5.8 approach has simplified the configuration of Norman Virus Control.
- NVC v5.8 introduces a closer integration between Norman Program Manager (Zanda) and Internet Update (NIU). In addition, the tray icon is now a part of Norman Program Manager. It was formerly known by a separate process (Nymse).
- The new tray icon indicatora cogis displayed when the installation is being automatically updated in the background. The mouse-over hints for the yellow warning triangle, indicate that the On-access scanner is not running, or that a computer restart is needed to complete an update. The mouse-over hints for the red symbol, indicating that the installation is not working as intended with your configuration options, is also improved in this version.
- Those with a detailed knowledge of earlier NVC versions will notice that the file- and folder structure has changed. In earlier versions all modules resided within the ...\Norman\Nvc\Bin folder. In Norman Virus Control v5.8 most products and plug-ins have their own %product%\bin folder. Common components and Administration tools reside within ...\Norman\Bin.
