Norman Internet Control Plus



Norman Internet Control Plus Features

Antivirus, firewall, 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 and prevent hackers to access your computer, 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 computeruser and should be taken care of by professionals that are working with these issues each and every day.

We at Norman have designed a solution that takes care of all these threats, it is an impressive solution offering the most comprehensive way to combat the threats you face while surfing on the Internet. The solution Norman Internet Control+ combines the award winning Norman Virus Control, Norman Personal Firewall and Norman Ad-Aware SE Plus.

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

* On-Access scanning of files for virus protection
* Real-time blocking of sp yware and adware
* Proactive antivirus protection with Norman SandBox technology for detection of new and unknown viruses, worms and trojans
* Connection security to prevent unauthorised access to and from your computer
* Email and newsgroup scanning
* Automatic updates of signature files over the Internet
* Parental Control module preventing access to websites with inappropriate content
* ActiveX and JavaApplets/scripts control

You can also block specific sites and approve sites.

PC–cillin Internet Security has phishing alerts and checks websites each time you visit. We encountered some discrepancies with this function. When we visited TopTenREVIEWS.com, it said it was an adware site. We know this isn’t true. We visited the site later and the software said the site was safe.

Ease of Use:
Each function on the control panel has a short description so you know exactly what it does.

Within the control panel, you can choose the basic settings or make detailed selections making this a good program for people who want to install it and leave it and for those who want to customize the features and settings.

Firewall:

Antivirus:
The F–Secure antivirus and antispyware functions rank among the best. Both are located in the same section of the program. Here you can schedule your scans and configure real–time scans. You can dictate the files you want to scan and what to do if a virus is found. You can also decide how your emails are scanned and what to do if a threat is found.

Antispyware:
F–Secure will detect keyloggers, trojans, browser hijackers and other spyware threats. You are able to scan your entire computer for spyware with the click of a button.

Teenagers—the user can access all websites except those containing restricted content. This content may include drugs or adult material. Both children and Teenagers—the program creates both the Children and the Teenagers profiles.

You can also create a password during the initial setup and it will be required to access the control panel of the software.

F–Secure issues radar alerts if there are any potential threats lurking around cyberspace. For example, we received an alert that stated, “A new variant of the Warezov email worm has been spammed out today. This new version, known as Warezov.AT, updates itself via web. Every update looks different as they are packed with a variable packer.”

The security software also provides a link to the web for more information.

Summary:
F–Secure is a user–friendly suite that will protect your computer and your family against viruses and spyware. The biggest drawback to this software is the lack of additional security features like anti–phishing and IM attachment scanning.
