    The Norman Screensaver is nice. The big green N floats around while it scans showing you the number of files and disks scanned. Neat screensaver.

    Firewall rule creation is pretty straight forward. It's pretty much like Eset's security suite. When you launch a new app Norman will prompt you. You can choose two options, either a simple allow/block rule or use the advanced rule setting.

    where is that deal? most i saw was 99$ which is almost the same as buying it by the year you save a few bucks. is there a better deal? any detection tests youve done yet? that seems to be a decent firewall but does it actually do the job its supposed to? any actual leak tests? i didnt see any on this anywhere

    how well do they update? how many are you seeing each day? does it update on weekends? etc

    Here As far as detection, in August IBK rated it Advance. It is like any product, depending who is testing it, goes the rank. I am really liking it though.My updates are set to every 3 hours.

    On a side note, IIRC during the install you can choose not to install the firewall or the parental control and just install the AV.

    well, I like it enough I bought the 2 year 3 user license. Just installed on 2 kids laptops and it is the fastest I have used yet. Zilch impact. I am really impressed and guess I will be using this avatar for awhile.

    Thanks for the screenshots, currently trying out a trial on both my desktop and laptop. Very light so far, and I might go for the deal that was linked above. :thumb:

    It is a good deal.;) And the software is light. It may not be at the tops in detection but it is not bad either. They are working to improve this to.

    to me it looks like some whitelisting and just a few popup rules to be checked. No recurring popups of the same application.

    Thanks for the info. ppl in my family are pop-up phobic :doubt:
    Hence I prefer tools which remain silent and still protect.
