    not sure but norman av usually finishes near the bottom of the pack in most av tests... check av comparatives. even the newest version with all the supposed "new features" did no better than the old one. so i guess i would say it depends who they get the malware sigs from and how well does it really actually clean ones already infected would be what i want to know

    malware should be detected by your ordinary AV.
