Gamers need more than just antivirus protection.
Norton 360 for Gamers offers advanced, multi-layered security for PCs. It helps protect against online threats like malware and webcam takeovers. It also includes a VPN that strengthens your protection against DDoS attacks, doxxing, and swatting.

Notifications are optimized to minimize interruptions during gameplay. In full-screen mode, all notifications are muted except for critical security alerts. For an optimized gaming experience, Game Optimizer also allocates dedicated CPU cores to the game.

Job descriptions

Game Optimizer:
Allocates dedicated CPU cores to games to ensure an optimal gaming experience.
Guarantees an optimal gaming experience for gamers.¹¹
Game Optimizer is a patented technology for PCs with multi-core processors. It ensures an immersive gaming experience by minimizing sudden performance drops while protecting your computer. Non-essential applications are limited to a single CPU core, freeing up the remaining cores for gaming.

• Automatically recognizes and optimizes games that heavily tax the processor, whether in fullscreen or windowed mode.
• Allocates the necessary CPU power to games for optimal gameplay by limiting non-essential applications to a single CPU core¹¹. This frees up the remaining cores for gaming to boost performance.
• Ensures optimal gaming performance by limiting non-essential applications and functions to a single processor core, freeing up other cores for gaming.
• Because the game is allocated its own processor cores, sudden increases in CPU load that could slow down the game are less frequent.

Fullscreen mode detection

Are you playing in fullscreen mode?
We detect if you’re playing in fullscreen mode and automatically activate silent mode. This suppresses most warning messages and pauses background activities. Only activities that help protect your computer from viruses and other cyber threats are executed. This reduces unnecessary background activity and improves game performance.

Intrusion Prevention Analysis:
Protection against cryptojacking and tech support fraud.
Intrusion Prevention Analysis monitors request and response headers to help prevent browser-based cryptojacking (mining cryptocurrency without your consent) and tech support fraud. This feature also blocks websites that impersonate official support portals.

Notification Optimization:
Are you annoyed by all the notifications on your PC while you’re gaming?
As gamers, we too have often been annoyed by annoying notifications that interrupt the flow of gameplay. In Norton 360 for Gamers, notifications have been optimized: There are fewer notifications, and you have more control over which ones can be permanently muted.
Thanks to this Windows-specific feature, we only notify you if your PC is under attack, your protection is threatened, or you’re not using a feature you’re entitled to. We also give you control over permanently muting feature messages.
So, when you’re gaming, streaming movies, working, or doing other activities on your PC, you won’t be disturbed by unnecessary pop-ups.

• The PC-specific optimized notification feature ensures that we only interrupt you if you are under attack, if your protection expires, or if you are not using a feature to which you are entitled.
• The control over permanently muting function notifications is in your hands.
• When you’re playing on your PC, streaming, working, etc., we don’t interrupt you unless it’s really important.

Most warning messages in Windows can be dismissed if full-screen mode is used.
The “Norton Cloud-Backup” and “Norton SafeCam” features are only available on Windows (except for Windows 10 in S mode; Windows on PCs with ARM processors).
Game Optimizer is only available on PCs with at least four processor cores running Windows (excluding Windows 10 in S mode; Windows on PCs with ARM processors).
Parental control features are not supported on Mac systems or Windows 10 in S mode.
Dark web monitoring is not available in all countries. The information monitored depends on your country of residence. By default, the feature monitors your email address, and the process begins immediately. Log in to your account to enter more information about the monitoring.
