Norman Data Defense
Systems, today announces that Microsoft has decided to use
Norman Virus Control v.5.6 with SandBox v.2 as part of
their anti-virus security policy. The anti-virus software
is used in Microsoft's release labs to ensure that all
software is free from viruses and worms before being
released to the end users. Microsoft has been one of the
key partners in the beta testing of Norman Sandbox v2.
Norman’s SandBox technology makes it possible to catch
virus and worms before virus signatures have been
released. The Norman SandBox technology represents a
milestone in non-signature based detection of new, unknown
viruses. This unique technology stops and quarantines the
malware attacking the machine based on its behaviors even
before any virus signature file is created for this
specific threat.
The latest widespread worm detected and stopped by Norman
Virus Control using SandBox technology was the worm W32/Swen.A.
Other recent viruses and worms stopped by this module are
variants of Yaha, Blaster, Randex and Opaserv.
Norman Data Defense Systems will continue to support
Microsoft with Norman Virus Control and will support all
major operating systems delivered from Microsoft. With its
commitment for the Microsoft platforms Norman is in the
process of getting Microsoft Gold Partner certification
for Independent Software Vendors.
