PRESS RELEASE 
Oslo Norway 19 December 2007

With the introduction of its next generation of computer security: Norman Security Suite, the Norwegian company has taken a huge step towards fully protecting personal computers. Norman Security Suite has advanced mechanisms for protection against the threats a user is exposed to on the Internet at the same time as it is user friendly and needs few resources.

Norman Security Suite consists of a Personal Firewall, a Parental Control, as well as protection against computer viruses, worms, trojans, spyware and other forms of destructive program codes that might be harmful to you and your computer.

All parts of the new suite of security programs have been considerably improved compared to previous versions. Enhancements are made to the interface to make it simpler and easier to use. Installation and configurations can easily be done by using a wizard, and the advanced settings are easy to use if needed. The different programs in the security suite have improved functionality to protect against the constantly evolving threat situation on the Internet. The overall security protection when the different security programs are installed makes this package a complete internet protection solution.
Norman’s unique SandBox technology, which makes it possible for the computer to prevent new and unknown viruses, spyware and other malware from entering the computer, is a central element in Norman Security Suite.

- Norman Security Suite is based on the best of the previous releases. At the same time we have invested substantial resources in improving our package in  areas that we know demand extraordinary solutions. During this development have we tried our best to make installation and use of Norman Security Suite as smooth, self-explanatory, and easy as possible, says Trygve Aasland, CEO of Norman.

Even before the launch the next generation of protection from Norman has earned “best in test” results in magazines and in the news. The reviews made a special notice of the user friendly features and high performance of the package.

The firewall has a two-way function which filters incoming and outbound traffic. Surveillance of the traffic prohibits the computer from being hijacked and abused in botnets, by criminals, or other unauthorized intruders. In addition, the firewall has a stealth feature that renders the computer invisible for potential hackers. Advanced users will appreciate the option to customize the firewall to adjust the safety-level to whatever is perceived as appropriate. Advances features also monitor the operating system to prevent unintended actions induced by infections.

The parental control part allows users to set up separate profiles which allow tailored access to the Internet for each specific user. When using the parental control an active filter will secure a dynamic and real-time control over which content  is allowed when surfing the internet. A calendar makes it possible to decide at what time the family’s youngest members are allowed to access the Internet.

Automatic virus and spyware protection recognize, block, and remove unwanted programs like viruses, worms, trojans and other varieties of destructive program code jeopardizing your privacy, identity or simply reducing computer performance. Norman SandBox technology has an important function in keeping new unknown viruses, trojans, worms and other malicious programs out of range of your identity and data.

The solution is optimized for Windows 2000, Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Norman Security Suite can be purchased from the company’s webshop. The different modules can also be bought separately. Customers holding previous versions of Norman’s products will be able to upgrade, and optionally purchase additional modules that will ensure a comprehensive protection of their computers.
