Seems Symantec are advertising the "Silent Mode" of NAV/NIS.

Radish?

Norton 360: Fatality Edition :p

There is another anti-virus vendor doing a gaming edition as well, however I do not remember the name...although they've got ads in MaximumPC.

Norton protect us

that's a laugh

[CPressland]

You know what? I'm going to try it! Against my better judgement i'm going to try it :p

[ViperAFK]

sounds like a good idea. And to the people bashing norton I don't use it but the new version is MUCH better than the older resource hogging ones.

Symantec Norton lead us, Symantec Norton guide us, in your software we shine, in your applications we are humbled, we live only to serve, our computers our yours....

[hotdog666al]

I'm sure all pro gamers can't wait to install this on their systems, pwoarr! ;)

[CPressland]

You know what, after 10 minutes or so of using it i'm very impressed. It only took 11 seconds to install on this machine. Barely registering on the I/O and CPU side of things.

Going to throw a few viruses at it now.

[Beastage]

lol wot?! I don't see why it shouldn't be exactly like the regular anti virus or why the regular one shouldn't be exactly like the gamer edition....

They like admit their regular antivirus isn't light and fast... while 2009 is really an imporvement.

[tsupersonic]

Well, not bad, NAV did great in the August '08 AV-comparatives test. I like where Symantec is taking NAV, much better than the older bloated generations.

[pyehac]

If they're serious about this, they'll really have to try harder to win back me after missing a bunch of viruses from customer's computers.

[Jase]

I don't see the point really.. is this just another attempt to get more $?

Norton Antivirus 2009: Gaming Edition

Oxymoron ^_^

[i_was_here]

They should just make one version of Norton Antivirus and have an option to select between a gaming profile or normal profile.

[Danrarbc]

I've gotta say, Norton is moving in the right direction here. That's more than I can say for McAfee.

Lighter, fewer processes, more definition updates, faster. All they have to do i prove they can detect viruses better than in the past and they can get some market share back.

[mtrftw]

I wish people actually tried NAV2009 before saying that it's bloated or slow or whatever. It's obvious that you haven't and it only makes you look foolish. If it has poor detection that's one thing, but there's no way that someone can install it and say that it's slow or bloated.

[biko]

Is there a trail version I can try out?
