Gamers Get Long-Awaited Anti-Virus Feature
A new Game Mode is being integrated into anti-virus software, allowing users to conserve system resources for high-octane gaming.
Victoria, B.C. Feb. 24, 2010 – For far too long, PC video gamers faced an unpleasant dilemma: keep their anti-virus software active and suffer the loss of game performance, or disable their protection and risk infection by a myriad of online threats. PC gamers must be constantly aware of system resources, RAM usage, processor speed, as well as the added threat of malware and virus infection. An innovative feature makes this a lot easier.
Newly introduced to the PC security world, the so-called "Game Mode" gives users the ability to tweak their anti-virus activity, and thereby conserve power for gaming.
ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS added the feature with a recent program update, and users of the software can now select the unique Game Mode from the software settings page. Norman Eldridge, Technical Product Manager at ParetoLogic, explained that "a Game Mode should be a perfect balance between safety and performance – we think we've got that here."
In modern gaming, visual graphics have grown incredibly, requiring more advanced memory cards and processors. Gamers are forced to squeeze their systems for every ounce of power. "Anti-virus database updates, scheduled scans, and active protection can really be a drain on system resources," said Mr. Eldridge. "The new Game Mode allows users to switch to a log-only state, where the program will avoid processor-intensive tasks."
Gamers, and all PC users, can download ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS from the ParetoLogic homepage. All editions of the anti-virus software are equipped with Game Mode capability.
