1.3 Firewall and virus scanner
The MicroLink ADSL Fun USB is supplied with the Norman Internet Control
software. Norman Internet Control is a firewall and anti-virus program that
monitors 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.
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.
