* Safety on all networks. When a computer connects to a network, the program asks you to specify the type of network (a trusted network, Intranet or the Internet), so that the firewall can choose how strict the rules should be.
* Stealth mode. This technology makes the computer invisible to outside users, effectively preventing all types of DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.
Protection from spam:
* Integrated protection from spam. Several methods are used in combination to ensure the highest possible level of spam detection, including blacklists and whitelists of IP addresses and word combinations typical of spam together with self-learning algorithms. The program also scans graphic images for spam attributes.
* Support for common mail programs. An expansion module, specifically designed for Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express, enables you to set processing rules for messages according to their post-analysis status.
* Preliminary analysis of messages. To economize time and network traffic, the Mail Manager conducts preliminary analyses of message headings in all incoming email before downloading them from the mail server. This also reduces the risk of spam and viruses being downloaded to your computer.
Changes in version 6.0.2.614:
- Support for the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.
- x64 support in the Anti-Spam component.
- Enhanced recognition of graphic spam.

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.

mks_vir 2007 for Windows
Discovered and tested mks_vir, from Poland, was first created in 1987 in response to the plague of multiplying computer viruses. mks_vir package that we offer today is modern antivirus software, based on the most recent technologies. The package is designed to work under all the current operating systems of the Windows family. The package consists of several main modules. Their combined operation protects the computer against the intrusion of harmful programs.
Features:
*** Antivirus monitor, deeply embedded in the core of the Windows system, controls in the real time all the file operations. For that reason it is able to stop the activation of a virus in course of executing operations on the hard disk, floppy disk, CD/DVD or other carriers. The monitor, at the activation, checks whether in the computer memory there is a virus installed. If this is the case, the virus is removed.
*** Disk and file scanner is a traditional element of antivirus software. During one quick run it can scan many physical and network drives. It detects viruses, Trojan horses and Internet worms. Moreover, beside the standard scanner operating in the Windows environment, mks_vir package contains also a 32-bit DOS scanner (fully compatible with the Windows version). This scanner allows to delete viruses from files used by the Windows system, and also to delete viruses located in the boot sector and the partition table of the hard drive. Under special circumstances, it is possible to disinfect the computer after starting it from the installation CD or from the start-up floppy disk of mks_vir package.
*** Email scanner. mks_mail module allows to use the electronic mail safely. mks_mail is compatible with all the mail programs, e.g. Outlook, The Bat, Eudora, Pegasus. By means of scanning the dataflow between the server and the mail client, it removes all the threats, among others Internet worms that have become one of the most serious threats throughout the last two years. Thanks to those functions, the user does not have to remember about the necessity to scan files attached to messages.
*** Automatic updater. The function of mks_update automatic update module is to provide the computer with the most recent virus definitions and mks_vir package elements on current basis. The program reacts to alerts published by the manufacturer the moment new threats emerge. After the Internet connection has been detected, the update process of the package starts. mks_update program allows to minimise the costs of Internet connections thanks to the mechanism of repository. In small networks only one workstation has to connect to the Internet in order to download the update elements. Other stations update the program through the local network from that station. After installing mks_update, the user can forget about the necessity of updating mks_vir software, since mks_update remembers about it.
*** Administration system. mks_administrator is an advanced administration system allowing to centrally control the update process and the operation of mks_vir program in corporate w networks.
This system allows to undertake the following actions:
- automatic update of the most recent version of antivirus software,
- central management of monitor configurations on the client stations (directly on individual stations or in groups),
- possibility to disable the monitor deactivation option by the user working on one of the stations,
- possibility to disable the option to change configuration by the user,
- task scheduling,
- update of the software at any time, as many times as wanted,
- scanning of the stations in search of viruses, e.g. out of the business hours,
- access to the central base of logs and reports on the activity of viruses,
- access to central information on software installed on workstations, including: data related to the monitor status, dates of the software versions, version of the operating system,
- management of the group of servers with the use of one console.
*** Additional benefits. The specialists of the Antivirus Laboratory constantly control threats appearing in the Internet and prepare cures against new viruses in the shortest possible time (2-3 hours).

avast! Professional Edition 4.7.942
avast! 4 Professional Edition is a collection of high-end technologies that work in perfect synergy, having one common goal: to give you the top grade protection against computer viruses. It represents an ideal solution for any Windows-based workstation.
avast! 4 Professional Edition is a complete ICSA certified antivirus software for your company. It obtained VB100% awards in 2002/4 Virus Bulletin comparative reviews.
avast! scans for viruses, worms and Trojans: On Demand - with two User Interfaces, On Access, E-mail, during Boot Time, in File Explorer and Screen Saver. It maintains Virus Chest. Protects E-mail, HTTP, NNTP, ICQ, mIRC, Kazaa etc. True incremental updates based on iAVS technology updates twice a week virus definition file.
avast! Home/Professional now fully supports the 64-bit Windows platform.
Features:
- Antivirus kernel
- Simple User Interface
- Enhanced User Interface
- Resident protection
- Script Blocker (Professional Edition only
- P2P and IM Shields
- Network Shield
- Web Shield
- Automatic updates
- PUSH updates
- Virus Chest
- System integration
- Command-line scanner
- Integrated Virus Cleaner
- Support for 64-bit Windows
- Internationalization
*** Antivirus Kernel
New version of avast! antivirus kernel features outstanding detection abilities, together with high performance. You can expect 100% detection of In-the-Wild viruses (the ones what are really spreading amongst people) and very good detection of Trojan horses, all that with only a minimum number of false alarms.
The kernel was certified by ICSA; it frequently takes part in the tests of Virus Bulletin magazine, often yielding the VB100 award.
*** Simple User Interface
Simple User Interface is used to start on-demand scanning, work with the results, change various options etc. Basic resident protection settings can be modified here. Simple User Interface is the main application of avast! 4 Home Edition. You can start additional avast! modules from here, such as the Virus Chest, Updater or Log Viewer.
*** Enhanced User Interface
Unlike the Simple User Interface, the scanning is performed by so called "tasks". First, you define a task, including various parameters - areas to scan, what to scan, how to scan, etc. Having the task, you can (possibly repeatedly) run it. Each task generates a list of results; you can work with them later.
*** Resident protection
Resident protection, i.e. the real-time protection of the computer, is one of the most important parts of an antivirus program today. avast! features a powerful resident module that is able to detect the virus before it has any chance to infect your computer.
E-mail protection consists of two independent modules; first, there is a generic scanner working on the SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 protocol level. It is capable of protecting any existing e-mail client that uses these protocols. Second, there is a special plugin for MS Outlook only; it is completely transparent, requiring no special settings.
New feature of version 4 is heuristic analysis of e-mail scanners. It is extremely useful in protecting against new, unknown viruses and worms that are not possible to detect by the usual means. The heuristic module performs a thorough investigation of every e-mail message and watches for suspicious signs that might announce virus presence. When the number of those signs exceeds the user-defined level, the message is considered dangerous and the user is warned.
*** Script Blocker
The resident protection of the Professional Edition includes an additional module, not contained in the Home Edition - Script Blocker. This module watches all the scripts being executed in the operating system (so called WSH scripts - Windows Scripting Host). It also scans all the scripts run as a part of a web page within your web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and Mozilla).
*** Automatic updates
Automatic updates are another key point in virus protection. Both the virus database and the program itself can be updated automatically.
*** PUSH updates
A special feature of the Professional Edition are PUSH updates. It is a dramatic change in the philosophy of updates. Usually, every installed program checks every now and then whether a new version is available. PUSH updates, however, are initialized by our server; they result in your computer quickly responding and performing the necessary update. The system is based on the SMTP protocol, i.e. on usual e-mail messages. The updates itself are controlled by the avast! resident e-mail providers (MS Outlook and Internet Mail).
*** Virus Chest
The main properties of the Virus Chest are complete isolation from the rest of the operating system (no outside process, i.e. no virus either, may access the files inside) and the fact that the files inside the Chest may not be run (i.e. there is no danger in storing viruses there).
*** System integration
avast! antivirus features outstanding integration into your system. The scanning can be started directly from Windows Explorer, by clicking a folder or a file with your right mouse button and selecting the corresponding choice from the menu.
Another interesting feature is a special screen-saver that performs scanning for viruses during its run-time. avast! antivirus works together with your favorite screen-saver, so you don't have to change to anything you wouldn't like.
Another new option is the boot-time scan (Windows NT/2000/XP/.NET only). It is important in the case that a virus is suspected to be active on your computer. The boot-time scan is performed before the virus may get activated, so the virus cannot influence the scanning in any way.
*** Command-line scanner
Experienced users may like another Professional Edition feature - command-line scanner. The scanning can be controlled by many arguments and switches; to use as a pipe filter, a special STDIN/STDOUT mode is available.
The module is intended to be used in BATCH programs. Its output is the same as the output from the Enhanced User Interface tasks (including the report files).
Changes in Version 4.7.936; January 12, 2007:
- higher performance of the scanning engine (especially on new CPUs) and faster start of the avast! system service on OS boot
- improved support for Windows Vista (added support for NTFS transactions (also known as TxF) etc.)
- improved detection of full-screen applications
- fixed a bug related to the demo licence not being installed during silent installs
- improved compatibility with Windows offline folders
