No distraction when you are in game or full screen mode.

As I know, there's a gaming mode, which when you turn it on, it stops certain activities, freeing resources for gaming.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Turn off Advanced Protection

Turn off Intrusion Prevention

Turn off Automatic LiveUpdate

above is three option that will off when gaming, while antivirus still can active.. and it give no distraction at all

I think better get the Norton Internet Security better than the AV Gaming Edition. It's about the same except for the Gaming Mode but ISecurity provides firewall as well. It's very light. From the processes in Task Manager it's about 6mb of RAM usage for both AV and firewall. Not sure about the total usage but I'm pretty sure it should be less than 15mb.

Kaspersky is as always reliable but it eats more RAM. Ah~ Who cares about RAM usage nowofdays when everyone gets 4gb of RAM =P

But there are many other antivirus out there oso have this feature, so basically what makes this version so different from other anti-virus?

How about this?

AMD Sempron 1.6GHz, 1.5Gb DDR400, SATA-I
XP start-up time (until into desktop!) : 37 sec
shutdown time : 17 sec

Intel Core Duo 2GHz, 756Mb DDR400, IDE
XP startup time (until into desktop) : 30 sec
shutdown time : 10 sec

The AMD one is mine, while Intel one is my friend's. We all use old PC anyway. Fast heh? That's means NAV09 do not interupt much the booting time anymore. But, it actually STILL RUNNING during boot!!!

Why? You can try plug a thumbdrive with virus to your PC, start your PC. And Norton don't let you go in Windows (stop at the load screen) because it detected some threat. Either you remove the thumbdrive or restart PC (it will somehow heal it even during boot... whaaaa...)

My friend using IDE already top a speed of 30sec startup (previously over 2 minutes with other AV)... If he use SATA... Woot... My last record on NAV06 I think was already 1 minute startup...

Well, what the sense of fast startup and shutdown? Well, no one love to streer at the loading screen for over 2 or 3 minutes...

Other example, there is an old laptop running Celeron with 512Mb RAM. With other AV installed, startup even takes over 5 minutes.... WTF? I glue my eyes to my watch showing the crazy time, and my friend says "no need count liao, you'll vomit one...". After install NAV09, startup time go about 1.30minute. Tremendously faster.

Most of my friends turned to NAV09 also =)

For scanning speed... Don't really measure it specificlly cuz different PC different speed. I remember last time I scan my Kingston 4Gb drive (full), takes 15 or 17 minutes to complete, while my 1Gb drive about 3 minutes. I later export the scan report to read, just curious. And it not just remove viruses, but also doing a great job fixing those registry that damaged by viruses.

All these, without a single warning messages and those anoying beep beeep beep...

Silent Mode suppresses stuff like alerts and notifications, suspending background activities as well.

With Silent Mode enabled, it takes appropriate action to protect your computer still - just no notification.

You can have Silent Mode activated manually OR by enabling the full-screen detection (eg games) and the summary of the Silent Mode session can be viewed in the Security History part of the software.

Well yeah, something like that.
