Norman ASA Files

The following are the Norman ASA files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Norman ASA as safe, which means that the Norman ASA files will appear with a green background and that there's no removal checkbox for the file. However, as you can see in the scan results below, a few of the anti-virus scanners detects the Norman ASA file(s). My guess is that those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It's unlikely that Norman ASA would ship a malware file.
