Most anti-virus software today operate the same way, they scan key sections of files for known threats using signatures. However what happens when the threat is new or unknown, no signature exists to detect them. Or more commonly, what happens when your antivirus signatures have not been updated or the update has failed. In these cases, these files are seen as safe and enter your environment infecting computers and damaging data.

Norman however operates differently. It scans for the known but it tests for the unknown. It does this using something called Norman SandBox technology. Norman Virus Control actually executes the files in a virtual machine environment allowing the file to operate as it normally would on an unprotected computer. If the file behaves maliciously in this virtual environment, it is immediately dealt with. Clean files pass unimpeded. What this does it allows Norman to detect viruses and worms without signatures protecting your systems in case of new or emerging threats.

How good is it?

Norman SandBox technology has identified most of the major virus attacks during the last year, in some cases days before any competing products have been able to do the same. This is the same proactive detection system has prevented dramatically fewer attacks for Norman’s customers, while users of competing products have sustained material damage to their systems.
