anyone here using Norman security?? any idea which engine they use?? or they using their own engine......

and their GUI is also not that attractive ( personal opinion ) compared to other security suites.......

what do you thinks??

Only thing I can find is this. The interface, isn't the best I think, to culluterd.

^^ yes, very less info in internet, but their detection rate is quite good.........
a months ago, i tested with some of the malware packs

http://malwaretips.com/Thread-Malware-Pack-91-malware-samples?pid=64594#pid64594
105 samples test
80 samples

results were quite good ....

Never tested it before, so I would not have an idea on what and how it performs.

Yup, I am using it on one of my computers. It is good, nothing special actually... Silent, detection is good, not using much resources, everything seems ok.
P.S. They are using their own engine.

I have used it for a while , nothing special , detection is ok
I found it performs ok Ram usage was ok well but can be slow to detect some new malware
The GUI has always been simple ,
some False positives ,
It dose it job but would not use a first line of defense,

Tried the Norman Malware Cleaner got 66% on 0-day Malware So it isn't the best but not the worst
