    Might want to report that bug to them to Norman them self's. I don't believe any staff from Norman read these forums correct me if I'm wrong tho.

    The Intrusion Guard Seems to have installed fine on Windows 7 64 bit. However, it looks like some of the options are for 32 bit only.

    thanks Namor. I am just getting tired of seeing products released that are not 64 bit ready and advertize it in the product. Prevx and Eset are at least doing it right. If it doesnt fully work, dont release it.

    and before anyone says it, even if it is beta, if it says that in the GUI, it will say if after the beta.

    Just installed the beta on a Vmachine, feels light and I like the minimalistic GUI.

    Hi All,

    Hope this time Norman boost its detection rate. Its still far behind by many AV suites.

    I really feel sorry for the person you are and the way U judge people. I commented their gui, and now im a stupid helpless sheep for that? - That comment tells way more about you than me.

    They are lagging behind from the top notch players...I do have 5 Genuine License Key, but i have never used them as they have very poor detection rate...Hope they boost up their secret energy....:D :D

    In other words they spent more time on the GUI then they did there detection. As for the helpless sheep comment it's from some of the websites that have been ranking AV's based on there GUI not there detection, It had nothing to do with you personally. People really should read a post before the comment.

    i still see no proof that norman is lagging in detection, for example: it wasnt tested at av-test's dynamic test.

    Take a look at the August on Demand test from AV-C. As for the Dynamic test it was probably in there interest they were not tested. One company can only take so much bad publicity from Testing before it becomes damaging to there company. Just ask Dr. Web they were in the %70 range when they pulled out of all tests.

    whats wrong with you, why are you now bringing Drweb to this Norman thread, do you constantly just bash products?

    also dont quote AV-C to me, their tests are awful, they have never-ever matched what ive used in the past with real-life-testing on a home PC.

    to prove how bad they were, when these dynamic tests really start to be perfected with a greater selection of products tested, the whole 'leaderboard' that av-c have falsely advertised will change, we have already seen the 'loveable' wilders-antivirus of Avira score only 87% on Marx's latest Dynamic test.

    all these companys left those tests, due to that, not the lower percentages.

    show me a valid test that has Norman in it?

    1. Web was used as a example try not to get your whiteys in a bundle.

    2. I will quote AV-C to you, as you said you could not find them on AV-C I simply gave you the information. As for AV-C's tests being awful "vs" your home tests. well great for you, but they don't fit the overall picture. AV-C simply gives people a way to weigh the detection rates, If you look at Dynamic testing and the normal on demand you will see not many have changed there positions. The ones that were on top still are and the ones on the bottom are still on the bottom. The only thing that changed is the top 5 shifted around.

    3. As for company's leaving testing. ONLY Web and Panda left, Everyone else stuck around. As you are new here maybe you should simply do some research before you go shooting your mouth off about something you really have no idea about.

    Obviously it is you who has no idea, Trend, F-Prot, Drweb, Panda and obviously Norman must have left too.

    thats 5 rather popular av's who left AV-C for their 'methods in testing', and of course, my own Prevx doubts AV-C's ability to test their own product.

    as for dynamic, the av-test.org test tested x5 the samples of AV'C, AV'C have always been a wannabe of theirs with less resources on-all-fronts.

    maybe it would interest you to know that Panda at AV-C used to score below 90%, while other false-detectors would score 99.56% or whatever, and people of wilders who seem to live by such junk testing would diss such products, they would take those test results as gospel, even without little knowledge of such products themselfs, they now see Panda detect more than a so called 99.9% detector (according to AV-C)

    if your reliance on software is AV-C, then it is you who is new here and needs a little educating on protection.

    so as i said at the start, please show me a valid test of Norman Security Suite?

    when i was testing normans last version it missed a lot of stuff. it let a lot of things get through it should not have. i know i will not look back unless i know its detection is better. also i sent samples to them that they never responded to and 2 weeks later still were not picked up

    For the last several years, I've seen far below average detection results from several test sites not only from Norman, but also Kingsoft, K-7, Fortinet, PC Tools, Rising, and F-Prot.
    Trend Micro (as Dr. Web) removed themselves from A-V Comparatives' tests due ostensibly to a disagreement over testing methodology.
    Whatever the true reason, Trend Micro has also underperformed in tests.

    It's a mystery to me how companies who's products consistently lag behind can stay in business.
    Norman and Fortinet have a particularly strong reputation in the corporate environment in spite of their continued poor performance ratings, and Clam AV has never been very good, yet it retains something of a cult status among many. o_O

    To each his or her own, but if you're going to bother at all with employing an antivirus application, why would anyone choose a consistent under performer ?

    Here is a link to Virus Bulletins' recent test.
