BitDefender Embraces Gaming Community With Launch of GameSafe

BitDefender ®, an award-winning provider of antivirus software and data security solutions, today introduced its new antivirus defense for gamers called BitDefender GameSafe, which defends users' PCs from viruses, spyware and rootkits. Traditionally, online gamers have sacrificed security while gaming because of the drag it can place on their PC. A system slow-down can have a life or death consequences in the virtual world. GameSafe keeps the impact on processing power, memory and virtual memory to a minimum, allowing gamers to maintain "in-game" responsiveness and eliminating interruptions during play.

When activated, BitDefender's GameSafe:

--  Minimizes processor time and memory consumption
--  Postpones automatic updates and scans
--  Eliminates all alerts and pop-ups
--  Sets the scanning level to "permissive," so only the most important
    files are scanned

Additionally, the GameSafe firewall protects users' Wi-Fi connection from unauthorized access.

"Traditional antivirus security providers are focused on protecting computer applications, while BitDefender is focused on new and emerging threats resulting from the emerging online lifestyle," said Bogdan Dumitru, BitDefender CTO. "GameSafe offers BitDefender's award-winning antivirus protection, while not interfering with gamer activities, allowing hours of uninterrupted game play for the ultimate secured gaming experience."
