Shozzy,
Before I got into driver development as my primary focus, I developed security applications such as firewalls, honey-pots, antivirus, etc. I just looked over NORMAN's main page and I have to tell ya. Use a different software. Any program which boasts support for antivirus, personal firewall, antispam, and encryption in a single application more than proves that it's a piece of shit. The old saying stands true to this day "Do one thing and do it well", if you try and make your program support everything under the sun, then your program isn't going to be able to do anything worth a damn. My suggestion is, find specialized applications. Get an antivirus which _ONLY_ detects and removes viruses. Get antispam software that _ONLY_ protects against spam. Etc. Don't look for an all in one solution because you end up with a bunch of false positives and missed baddies.
If you don't want to take my word for it, just look at the Norman website and look at the "Current Virus Threats" list.. it's over 3 months out of date. There are 37 known high risk viruses that _I_ know of that it doesn't protect against, and I've not been in the vx/av scene in over 2 years.
