Game optimizer

Nobody wants to experience lag or performance issues during a lengthy gaming session, which is often the case when antivirus programs run adjacent to your games. While you might be tempted to disable your protection for a smoother gameplay experience, it’d be more beneficial to experience great performance without compromising security – meet Game Optimizer. This feature works with multi-core PCs to reduce performance interruptions while gaming without decreasing your online security.

Full-Screen Detection Mode

This feature is marketed for Norton 360 for Gamers, but it’s essentially the same as the silent mode for Norton 360 Deluxe. This feature detects when you’re playing a game through platforms like Steam, Epic Games Launcher, EA Origin, or UPlay. If it identifies your gaming session, it silences all but critical security alerts.

Notification Optimizer

How annoying is it when you’re about to win a team deathmatch in CoD, only to be bothered by a useless notification? That’s why Norton created Notification Optimizer. This feature only works on PC, but if enabled and you’re playing a game, it’ll only alert you if you’re under attack or your license is expiring. In other words, you’ll enjoy distraction-free gaming unless it’s something urgent.
