Speed and Security

BitDefender’s GameSafe keeps the impact on processing power, memory & virtual memory to a minimum, allowing gamers to maintain “in game” responsiveness and eliminating interruptions while fighting epic battles!

The Need for Speed

Games, especially online games, are some of the most demanding PC applications in existence. Because of the need to provide near-instant reaction to users’ actions, lack of processing power will result in delays in packet transmission, adversely affecting the gaming experience.

GameSafe’s gamer mode can be turned on with one click. When activated it will:

• Minimize processor time & memory consumption
• Postpone automatic updates & scans
• Eliminate all alerts and pop-ups
• Scan only the most important files

 

Antivirus & Antispyware

• Hourly Updates – fastest in the industry at updating the list
  of known viruses and spyware
• Blocks even unknown viruses using advanced proactive detection techniques
• Detects and removes the newest breed of hidden threats known as rootkits

 

Anti-Phishing

• Protects against phishing attempts by filtering all accessed web pages
• Reduces the risk of identity theft by preventing personal information leaks via e-mail

 

Firewall

• No need to disable firewall while gaming, as it’s designed to accept required connections
• Controls applications’ access to the Internet while “hiding” your computer from hackers
• Helps prevent unauthorized access to your Wi-Fi network by notifying you when computers log into the network information

 

More Features

 

Processor time

Processor time used is probably the best measure of “responsiveness”. Background processes that dramatically reduce CPU cycles (like on-access antivirus) are highly undesirable.

 

Memory consumption 

The amount of memory antivirus scanners use, greatly influences the overall “responsiveness” of the operating system.
