Norton "Gamers" Antivirus EPIC FAIL TIME:
| Quote: | Symantec announced yesterday that they will be releasing Norton AntiVirus 2009 Gaming Edition, a new piece of software in their somewhat bulky arsenal that actually looks to be promising for younger users. The new offering is designed specifically with the gaming community in mind, being super light on system resources and never compromising the gaming experience.
Key features of Norton AntiVirus 2009 Gaming Edition:
- New Gamer Mode keeps you protected but won't bother you while you're in the middle of a game. Suspends updates, alerts, and other background activities and is automatically enabled when system is in full screen mode, or easily manually enabled;
- Smart scheduling holds resource intensive actions such as system scans for when the computer is idle;
- Industry-leading protection from viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans, keyloggers, bots and infected web sites;
- Customizable security settings allow gamers to reach the performance and protection balance they require;
- Performance driven release installs in under a minute, uses less than 6MB memory, adds less than 1 second to boot time and averages scans in less than 35 seconds.
"Gamers are an extremely demanding audience that simply won't tolerate anything on their system that detracts from gameplay," said Rowan Trollope, senior vice president, Consumer Products, Symantec. "Norton AntiVirus Gaming Edition keeps gamers protected online and runs perfectly undetected in the background, meaning no interruptions, no pop-ups, and with the same award winning zero-impact performance of our 2009 products."
Already selling in the US, the Norton AntiVirus 2009 Gaming Edition is priced at $39.99 and comes with a one-year service subscription. |
