Gamers know the importance of being protected at all times when they are playing peer to peer games online, but along with most security packages comes a high level of intrusion, which can disrupt or destroy a gaming experience.
During 2008 Symantec has been working towards a solution for this niggling problem for gamers, and the result is this - the Norton Antivirus 2009 Gaming Edition.
Just like the standard version of Norton AntiVirus, this edition is adept at locating dangers, eliminating spyware, worms, bots and other malicious threats. But, its significant difference is that it works quietly in the background – not interfering with any online experience.
There are no alerts, no notifications and no interruptions. You are given the option as to whether you want to suspend updates, behavioural scanning and intrusion prevention tools. In addition, the software works breathtakingly quickly. Its rapid pulse feature allows it to update every 5 to 15 minutes, its initial installation takes less than a minute and it can reboot itself in less than one second.
A final feature, well worthy of note, is the lightness of the overall package. Impressively, the Norton Virus Scan Gaming Edition uses less than 6MB of memory, and it requires less than 50MB of hard disk space to install. Armed with a host of other benefits, the Norton Antivirus Gaming Edition is a real jump forward in protection for those who don’t want their gaming experiences interrupted. |
