“When I’m gaming, the last thing I want to think about is
security,” said Katharine "KatContii" Conti, gaming influencer.
“With Game Optimizer, not only is my information safe, but my game
play is seamless. It was created by gamers for gamers and gives me
peace of mind without sacrificing performance.”
The addition of Game Optimizer marks a revolutionary shift for
PC gamers, reducing performance interruptions while still
maintaining security, resulting in an immersive and smoother gaming
experience. By freeing power-hungry programs to a single CPU core,
Game Optimizer helps ensure all available computing power is
allocated to the game for better performance1. As an added benefit,
Norton 360 for Gamers also offers optimized notifications,
permanently silencing non-essential messages.
Norton 360 for Gamers customers will have access to Norton™
Crypto2 when it launches in the coming weeks. Currently available
as part of NortonLifeLock’s early adopter program, Norton Crypto
enables customers to safely and easily mine cryptocurrency while
their devices are idle through its trusted Norton™ 360
platform.
“As gaming and cryptomining begin to take a larger role in
people’s digital lives, it’s important we continue to quickly
innovate and develop the tools that empower consumers to keep their
information, devices and identity safe without interference,” said
Gagan Singh, chief product officer, NortonLifeLock. “We want gamers
to use Game Optimizer so they can stay focused on the challenges of
their game, not the distraction and risk of cyber threats. We also
want to help people put their PC’s idle time to good use with
Norton Crypto providing an easy and safe way to mine
cryptocurrencies.”
In addition to providing gamers with boosted performance and an
easy and safe way to mine cryptocurrency while their PCs are idle,
Norton is also expanding Dark Web Monitoring to 13 additional
countries including France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium,
Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria and
Poland3 for Norton 360 for Gamers customers. Dark Web Monitoring
continuously searches the dark web and notifies customers if their
gamer tags, usernames, email addresses and other personal
information is found.
Game Optimizer is now available for Norton 360 for Gamers
customers2,4. Dark Web Monitoring will be available for new and
existing customers across the 13 countries with Norton 360 plans.
