Antivirus, spyware and adware protection

To stay secure while connected to the Internet is becoming more and more a troublesome experience as the complexity on convergence of threats increases. Previously your concern might have been just how to avoid viruses and worms infections, it now also should include how to avoid spyware and adware.

Viruses and worms are something that everyone knows about and most people use an antivirus solution to avoid infections. Spyware and adware you most probably have heard about and you might also believe that your antivirus solution takes care of that problem. Today this is not the case as antivirus products are mainly designed to detect viruses, worms and trojans and not spyware and adware. In some cases they detect these threats but they are unable to remove and clean up after them. To do this you need a tool designed for this purpose, an antispyware and -adware solution.

To stay on top of these risk is not an easy task for the average computer user and should be taken care of by professionals that are working with these issues each and every day.

The folks at Norman have designed a solution that takes care of the threats coming from malware like viruses, worms, trojans, spyware and adware enabling you to surf the Internet without being infected. The solution Norman Virus Control Plus combines the award winning Norman Virus Control and Norman Ad-Aware SE Plus.

The feature list for the Norman Virus Control+ is quite impressive:

• On-Access scanning of files for virus protection
• Real-time blocking of spyware and adware
• Proactive antivirus protection with Norman SandBox technology for detection of new and unknown viruses, worms and trojans
• Email and newsgroup scanning
