An extremely small percentage of viruses, about which users and IT managers receive alerts, are actually in the wild. In deciding whether to issue a warning, Norman looks in depth at each virus and version of each virus and follows it closely to see if it starts to spread rapidly. The faster a virus spreads, the more dangerous it is and the greater the chance that Norman will issue an alert. Typically, Norman announces 4 to 5 virus warnings per year, which is less than some software vendors issue every month. To help administrators better oversee their virus control responsibilities, Norman includes new virus updates as part of its regular upgrade packages.
Viruses cause a great deal of havoc for computer users.
Virus protection should be silent, non-intrusive and upset the daily routines of users as little as possible.
