Norton Antivirus 2009 Gaming Edition

Here is a video of how a gamer lost everything because his computer froze due to a scheduled system scan.

One of the many annoying things of antivirus software is that they keep popping up messages at will. Besides they also consume a large amount of RAM which causes system freezing or (and)slowing down.  Norton AntiVirus™ 2009 Gaming Edition tries to cut out all that. According to the website

Norton AntiVirus™ 2009 Gaming Edition is 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.
