Norman ASA has today
entered into a comprehensive joint venture agreement
with the broadband supplier, UPC. This agreement
provides all of UPC’s customers with virus protection
using Norman Internet Control, a package which combines
Norman’s award-winning Norman Virus Control and Norman
Personal Firewall, which are both included in the
subscription.
"Recent virus attacks have caused considerable damage
for Internet users throughout the world. We want to make
the broadband Internet as simple and safe as possible
for our customers, and we are therefore pleased that we
are now able to offer our Internet customers one of the
leading virus protection programmes available on the
market," says Gunnar Evensen, the Managing Director of
UPC.
The agreement encompasses all of UPC’s Internet
customers, who from today onwards will be able to
download the latest version of Norman Internet Control
from www.upc.no The program will be automatically
updated as new versions gradually become available, and
UPC’s customers will be able to gain direct access to
Norman’s customer services centre if they have any
queries about viruses and security.
Norman has for a number of years been awarded
distinctions for its anti-virus products in independent
tests conducted by the British magazine Virus Bulletin.
These are recognised tests which are often used as
important selection criteria for finding optimal
anti-virus solutions. Norman Virus Control has a very
high detection rate for viruses and other forms of
harmful software. The program also includes Norman’s
unique SandBox technology which proactively stops new
and unknown viruses, without the need for definition
files.
"The fact that a company of the size of UPC has decided
to engage in standardisation using our technology for
all its customers is something which we consider to be a
recognition of our technology and organisation. We are
looking forwards to embarking on this exciting
cooperative venture with UPC in order to safeguard UPC’s
customers against computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses
and hackers using a simple, easy to understand
solution," says the Managing Director of Norman ASA,
Henning Hansen.
