Norman, the data security company, comes out on top in a software security test conducted by the computer magazine PC World Norway. Norman’s new Security Suite, scheduled for release soon, wins the test in competition with a range of comparable products. Efficient protection, ease of use, performance and speed were the features evaluated in the test. Norman Security Suite stands out as the winner, and is according to PC World particularly strong on performance: “Norman’s performance is impressive,” the well-respected magazine wrote.

 The test included security solutions from F-Secure, Symantec, McAfee, Eset and Trend Micro in addition to Norman. PC World tested complete security solutions, which in addition to virus protection also deals with other relevant security needs, like personal firewall, protection against spyware and phishing, and protection of instant messaging services.

“This is the best start possible for our new generation of security products. PC World’s test is yet another proof that Norman is among the world leaders in data security,” says Norman’s CEO Trygve Aasland.

Norman Security Suite is a new generation of security products from Norman, including virus and spyware protection, personal firewall and parental control. The standard installation is very easy, while more sophisticated functions can be configured as needed. The new Norman Security Suite also includes self-defence modules preventing hackers and other types of intrusion from turning off the PC’s protection functions. Norman’s advanced SandBox technology, capable of stopping attacks even without a catalogue of known threats, is integrated in the new Norman Security Suite.
