ware. Norman Internet Control is a firewall and anti-virus program that moni-

tors your PC for malicious software, also referred to as malware. The most

common types of malware are viruses, worms, and trojans. For the sake of

simplicity, we often use the term virus as a collective description of unwan-

ted code.

Norman Internet Control can detect and remove known and unknown viruses

from hard disks, floppy disks, e-mail attachments, etc. Norman Internet Con-

trol checks files when they are accessed, and possible viruses are removed

automatically. If Norman Internet Control is unable to clean an infected file,

you will receive a warning and instructions on how to proceed.
