Norman’s customers and other interested parties may subscribe to Norman Virus Alert Program. This program ensures early warning by email (including optional SMS message to mobile phone) if a special alert situation arises. 

Those who participate in the alert program will get such warning at the same time as Norman ASA informs the subsidiaries and the international distributors.

One may subscribe to an email warning and/or a warning by an email message to a cellular phone. One email address is included in each of these lists for a yearly fee.

One may subscribe to one list only or to both for the same subscription fee. Norman recommends that subscribers to the mobile phone alert list subscribe to the ordinary email list as well, as the latter includes more information.

The information on these lists is going to be in English.

Norman Virus Alert Program is a way for customers and other interested parties to get information about malicious programs as soon as possible. The program is only triggered in situations seen as particularly serious.

Two mailing lists are set up on Norman ASA’s list server. These are mailing lists which may be subscribed to by all Norman's customers and other interested parties for a yearly fee. The information on these lists is sent to Norman's subsidiaries and distributors as well as the other subscribers. 

Thus, subscribers on the lists are informed about the alert situation at the same time as Norman's own organization is informed.

The information supplied from these lists is going to be in English. 

The alert lists are:

  • Alarm list which is a mailing list informing the subscribers when special virus alert situations arise.

    The persons on this list are going to get an e-mail message in a virus alert situation. This mail describes the incident and refers to a web page on Norman ASA’s web site in Norway (the English part). 

    The e-mail may include a user name and a password which can be used to download new virus detection files or special fixes for a particular virus.
     
  • Mobile phone list - which is a short version of the above-mentioned alert list. 

    Subscribers to this list are alerted by receiving a short mobile phone e-mail text message (SMS message) which refers to an English web page on Norman ASA’s web site.

These lists are only to be used in alert situations.

Information to both lists is going to be sent out at the same time.
