Key features

Norton 360 Gamers offers advanced multi-layer protection for PCs, helping protect against threats like webcam takeovers, malware, DDoS attacks, doxxing, and SWATing. The software also offers specific features targeting gamers to ensure your online experience is threat-free. Here's what to expect from Norton 360 Gamers.

Smart firewall

This is one of Norton's signature features, available in all their antivirus software, including Norton 360 Gamers. The smart firewall monitors all communication between your PC and other devices to curb all unauthorized traffic. By stopping any unauthorized and unsecured communication coming towards your device, Norton 360 Gamers ensures that your PC always stays protected.

Secure VPN

Norton 360 Gamers offers a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) to hide your IP address so you can browse anonymously and securely. This helps protect your PC from DDoS attacks and doxxing. This is an essential feature for gamers who frequent gaming sites and forums, as it allows them to visit these sites without the risk of being doxed.

Webcam protection

This is another great feature from Norton 360 Gamers, preventing all unauthorized access to your webcam from unknown sources. The antivirus will block access to your webcam and notify you in case of any unauthorized attempts to access your webcam. This should protect you from getting filmed online by cybercriminals, preventing possible blackmail.

Password manager

This is another handy feature that's offered on Norton 360 Gamers. You no longer have to remember complex numbers and data because the antivirus can store all your passwords, credit card information, and other sensitive information in its safe and secure database. All of this data is also encrypted, and you don't have to worry if Norton's data servers are compromised, as your information will still be protected.

Anti-phishing protection

Norton 360 Gamers also offers anti-phishing protection, which evaluates the level of security on websites you visit and stops links known to be fraudulent. It also provides protective exploit protection (PEP), which protects your PC against zero-day attacks. These are the attacks that take advantage of weaknesses in your Windows operating system or programs. Additionally, Norton 360 Gamers protects any sensitive information you insert into websites. For example, when logging in to your gaming account, it will protect your information by letting you navigate the website using a Norton server rather than your own.

Special Norton 360 Gamers features for gamers

Download Norton 360 Gamers to get special features, ensuring your online gaming experience remains threat-free. The features offered include:

Dark web monitoring

Norton 360 Gamers monitors the dark web and notifies users if their information has been leaked on the dark web. Other Norton antivirus options offer this feature, but only search for information like email addresses and usernames. However, this version also allows gamers to search for their gamer tags.

Game optimizer

Norton 360 Gamers has been developed for gamers and is designed to meet the needs of modern hardcore gaming. Unlike other antivirus software, Norton 360 Gamers will not use much of your system's resources. The game optimizer optimizes your CPU's performance by assigning only one core for background activities. That way, your gaming performance isn't affected, as the optimizer will dedicate your other CPU cores to your game. Norton 360 Gamers works very well on gaming laptops, as they don't perform as well as gaming desktops.

Notification optimization

Most gamers don't appreciate the bothersome notifications from antivirus programs about the most minor issues. As such, Norton 360 Gamers has been designed to only interrupt your gaming with notifications about three issues: when your security is at risk, when your PC is being attacked, and when you have deactivated one of the necessary security features that leave your system vulnerable to attacks. The last notification can also be silenced, meaning you will only be notified when your PC is in imminent danger.

Full-screen detection

This feature allows Norton 360 Gamers to detect when you are using a program in full-screen mode so that the antivirus can silence notifications except for the crucial ones. This will enable you to enjoy your gaming sessions without any interruptions that might take away the immersion in your gaming experience.
