In the August edition of the British Virus Bulletin magazine Norman ASA has been awarded the Virus Bulletin (VB) 100% award for its antivirus solution Norman FireBreak for Novell Netware. This is the 24th VB100% award Norman has received so far.

“During a year when we have had, and most likely will continue having an extremely high activity level of viruses and worms, we are pleased to get this positive recognition on our technology and organisation, as the award clearly proves. Our strategy is to secure our customers using a variety of operating system. This award shows that we are able to keep our high quality on virus detections on all the different platforms our solutions are designed for", announces Steinar Wigtil, Director of R&D at Norman ASA.

“The latest weeks Internet worms and viruses as Bagle, Zafi and MyDoom among others have aggressively attacked Internet users. The Norman Sandbox in particular, has proven to be a very good investment for our customers, as the Sandbox detects and stops these viruses before they do any harm. The Norman SandBox is able to stop new viruses and worms before the virus signature files are updated. For our customers this proactive method is crucial to their businesses. The recent track records in detecting new unknown malware by the Norman Sandbox and this VB100% award once again proves Norman as one of the top antivirus players in the world", says Audun Lødemel Marketing director Norman ASA.

The criterion for VB 100% award is to discover all viruses that are identified on the international virus list “In The Wild", which is hosted by http://www.wildlist.org. Virus experts and analysts from all around the world keep this list updated on a monthly basis with viruses and worms, which are constantly active.
