Norman Data Defense Systems gana el premio del Logo diseñado para Microsoft Windows XP (inglés)
Microsoft has awarded Norman Virus Control - one of the world's leading antivirus programs - with its Designed for Windows XP Logo. This certification ensures Microsoft® Windows® XP users access to high-quality and well integrated products.
By receiving this award Norman Virus Control meets the quality standards and requirements of Microsoft's "Designed for Windows XP" logo program. This program makes it easy for customers to recognize products that will deliver a great computing experience with the Windows XP operating system.
"Effective security programs must have the suitable technology, with easy and smooth program-to-program integration on the users' preferred platforms", says Henning Hansen, CEO of Norman Data Defense Systems. "We are proud that our product meets the "Designed for Windows XP" logo requirements. Thanks to this program, customers can easily recognize our product as one that guarantees the best possible experience on Windows XP," says Mr. Hansen.
Norman Data Defense Systems mission is to protect its customers from malicious programs in an efficient, fast and reliable fashion. The traditional way of doing this is by releasing signature-based virus protection files as soon as possible after an outbreak. This is, of course, like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. Often unidentified malware has circulated some time before it is being stopped.
The main objective in the fight against malware should be more than only doing the fireman's job. The key word is proactive - stop the malware before it hits any user. Norman Virus Control uses the Norman SandBox technology as a proactive technique to stop new and unknown viruses, worms and trojans. The increase of new, fast-spreading threats via the Internet and email demonstrates the importance and need for this kind of protection.
"Microsoft is pleased to feature Norman Virus Control in the Windows Catalog," said Birger Steen, General Manager Microsoft Norway. "Customers recognize that products with the "Designed for Windows" logo provide the best PC experience and understand that the Windows Catalog is a showcase for high-quality products such as Norman Virus Control."
