Deal ends on the 7th this month. I'm not endorsing this product, just posting something I think might be of interest to some of us gamers.

 

Here is a little about it.

 

The Norton AntiVirus 2009 Gaming Edition application was designed to be the fastest virus protection you can get. It stops spyware, worms, bots, and other threats cold?without slowing down your PC. When you?re gaming, your protection should get out of the way. Norton AntiVirus 2009 Gaming Edition does exactly that.

 

Gamer Mode

 

No alerts + no notifications = no interruptions

 

Optional settings to temporarily suspend updates, behavioral scanning and intrusion prevention

 

Enabled automatically when your PC is in full screen mode

 

Activate manually with a quick click on the Norton system tray icon

 

Lightning Fast

 

Rapid Pulse Updates every 5 to 15 minutes

 

Installs in less than a minute

 

Adds less than 1 second to boot time

 

Light as a Feather

 

Uses less than 6MB memory even without the Gamer Mode performance boost

 

Needs less than 50MB hard disk space on installation

 

Runs only 2 processes at a time

 

Performance graphs display CPU and memory usage and how little Norton is using

 

Respects your needs

 

Smart Scheduler holds resource intensive actions for when you are not using your PC

 

Resource usage table shows you the what, when and how long for background actions taken by Norton AntiVirus

 

Delivers consistently strong protection - that?s why Norton AntiVirus has won more consecutive Virus Bulletin 100 awards than any other AV software

i give it F------ and thats before i would even try it. I would run with out and AV before i put any norton product on my pc.

 

Norton AV sucks, it dosn't work at all and so on.
