Norman Delivers Superior Malware Protection with Security Suite PRO

FAIRFAX, Va., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Norman, a leading provider of proactive security solutions from single desktops to complex corporate and government networks, today announced the general release of Norman Security Suite PRO Version 8 for Valued Added Resellers and Managed Service Providers serving the U.S. market.

One of many new capabilities includes the ability to detect and prevent installation of rogue antivirus programs currently plaguing PC users of the Internet. Today, millions of unwitting users are confronted with false virus alerts, which trick users into installing unwanted applications which solicit payment to clean the PC – when it is in fact not yet infected. This is a ruse to capture personal credit card information. Norman's Security Suite PRO can prevent the installation of such rogue applications.

Norman Security Suite PRO is easy, advanced and powerful protection against all types of Internet malware threats such as viruses, worms, trojans, spyware and hackers. The all-in-one security solution includes completely new features such as Intrusion Guard and Privacy Tools. Norman Security PRO is enriched by Norman's industry-leading anti-malware technology to ensure maximum online safety.

With an average of 30,000 new malware samples discovered and processed each day, strong preemptive protection is needed to protect PCs. Norman Security Suite PRO is a comprehensive security solution specially designed to combat the increasing number of Internet threats users meet every day. Widely used products such as the leading multimedia readers and players and social utilities such as Twitter and Facebook are particularly vulnerable for being hijacked and turned into malware vehicles. Norman's latest PC security solution directly addresses these concerns.

Norman's new Intrusion Guard prevents unauthorized programs from taking control of your PC – such as rogue antivirus programs mentioned earlier. The expert utility called Advanced System Reporter is an easy-to-use reporting tool that helps the user to log, block and stay warned against any hostile activity from intruders such as spyware, injection attempts, rootkits, deceptive applications and cyber attacks.  

Norman Privacy Tools helps the user to select individual privacy levels. The advanced Privacy Tool application offers a secure deletion feature wiping an Internet browser history file 7 times with random data to guarantee safe deletion. Privacy Tool supports Microsoft Explorer - simply right click on the file(s) and delete. In addition, it provides various options to delete temporary files and logs from browsers and the operating system.

The new and intuitive user interface makes Norman Security Suite PRO easy to use.  It helps the users to constantly stay informed in regards to security status and security issues encountered everyday online. If security incidents or product settings require attention, then the new security status and activity summary presents the users' health status at a glance.  

"With new and improved features such as Intrusion Guard and Privacy Tools, combined with the most advanced proactive security technologies available, this release ensures customers have the most complete solution on the market," said Roy Miehe, CEO, MspPortal/AAAntivrus.com, a leading Managed Service Provider and Value Added Reseller serving customers throughout North America.

In addition to Intrusion Guard and Privacy Tools, new and improved features in Norman Security Suite PRO include: 

• An anti-spam module
• Management capabilities to create block-and-allow lists for email
• A new, user-friendly interface  
• Detailed security status and activity summary reports
• Parental Control to protect children against unwanted content

Norman Security Suite PRO includes technology that takes full advantage of Norman's award winning technologies such as Norman SandBox®, Norman Exploit Detection and Norman DNA Matching for proactive detection meeting today's increasingly more difficult security challenges.

Norman Security Suite PRO is available through Norman's webshop and partners throughout North America and the Caribbean. To learn more, please contact a Norman Value Added Reseller or Managed Service Provider, or visit us at: www.norman.com. Click on the "store" link at the top of the page.
