Trojan and executable analyser detects unknown dangers.

Norman Data Defense Systems Trojan & Executable Scanner can analyse what an executable does, and quarantines any executables that perform suspicious activities, such as Trojan programs. Trojans are dangerous if they enter a victim's computer undetected, granting an attacker-unrestricted access to the data stored on that computer.

Norman Email Control detects new, unknown viruses with SandBox v2 technology.

The Norman SandBox v2 operates by running suspicious files in 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.

This way, Norman Email Control can detect potentially dangerous, unknown viruses and Trojans before they enter the network.
