Any effective protection equipment needs to react immediately in order to protect and secure the users. The injuries can be severe if the protection is not efficient enough...

Today new viruses are spreading faster and faster as they continue to exploit vulnerabilities found in popular applications. The development has shown how inefficient traditional signature based antivirus tools are in the fight against these upcoming threats- leading to the only viable solution, a proactive solution designed to protect against new and unknown viruses.

In order to satisfy the need for real-time protection, Norman delivers proactive antivirus solutions; defence systems that do not rely on definition files, but are alert and accurate enough to stop new and unknown viruses in addition to the familiar ones, the moment they enter the system.
