Norman’s antivirus and antispyware
protect you against Internet threats such as viruses,
worms, trojans, rootkits and spyware. This user-friendly
and fast-performing security program is designed to give
the highest
possible security against malicious software (malware).
The Norman SandBox technology is included - a proactive
technology used to find and stop unwanted actions from
new and unknown malware.
Spyware and Adware include malware like "Trojans",
Web Bugs, Advertiser Software, Dialers, Parasites,
Scumware, Browser hijackers, Keyboard sniffers,
Monitoring Software and more. These types of malware are
often made by publishers that allow them to snoop on
your browsing activity, see what you purchase and send
you "pop-up" ads. They can slow down your PC, cause it
to crash, and record your credit card numbers and
passwords. If you’re like most Internet users, chances
are you’re probably infected with these files. Simply
surfing the Internet, reading email, downloading music
or other files can infect your PC without you knowing
it.
Real-time detection, blocking and removal of such
malware is becoming more and more imperative, and the
only way to do so is to use tools dedicated to perform
this tasks, Norman Ad-Aware SE Plus is such a tool.

airbag to be released, would you feel safe?
No?

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.
The average release delay is 6-24 hours from the
moment a new virus hits until the users are able to
receive the updated detection files. Obviously, this
procedure does not provide real-time protection from
new and unknown viruses.
In order to satisfy the need for real-time
protection, Norman delivers proactive antivirus
solutions; defense 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.
The best way of obtaining a proactive antivirus
solution is to execute the suspicious file in a safe
environment. --- Simply to let the virus execute
its game.
By doing this, any unknown and suspicious file that
is trying to enter the computer, is isolated and
prevented from infecting the computer system during
analysis. As the virus unfolds, the proactive
solution will monitor and assess the behavior of the
suspicious file.
Based on the analysis, the system will determine
whether to quarantine the file or to allow the file
to enter the computer itself.
In other words: We are talking about a fully
simulated computer, isolated within the real
computer - as part of the Norman antivirus scanner
engine - there is no need for any extra hardware to
accomplish this!
The simulator uses full ROM BIOS capacities,
simulated hardware, simulated hard drives, etc. This
simulator emulates the entire bootstrap of a regular
system at boot-time, starting by loading the
operating system files and the command shell from
the simulated drive. This drive will contain
directories and files that are necessary parts of
the system, conforming to system files on physical
hard drives.
The suspicious file is placed on the simulated hard
disk and will be started in the simulated
environment. The suspicious file is unaware of the
fact that it is operating in a simulated world...
Inside the simulated environment the file may do
whatever it wants. It can infect files. It can
delete files. It can copy itself over networks. It
can connect to an IRC server. It can send e-mails.
It can set up listening ports. Every action it takes
is being registered by the antivirus program,
because it is effectively the emulator that does the
actions based on the code in the file. No code is
executed on the real CPU except for the antivirus
emulator engine; even the hardware in the simulated
PC is emulated.
The issue is not to monitor and stop potentially
harmful actions at runtime, the issue is to figure
out what the program would have done if it had been
allowed to run wild on an unprotected machine, in an
unprotected network.
Norman’s solution: Let the virus execute its game.
Then control the game!
