But with the 9 release, I have to say it is seamless with systems. I even installed it on my 4 year old dell, thing is smooth as when I didn't even have one installed. They have come a long way with this release. I would go as far to say it rivals NOD32, which I am a huge fan of. Added to that, you get 3 licenses per. So, 3 for 1 and little footprint, I am sorry to say I am a fan at this point. The gamer edition idea? Who knows. I think it is a way to get those without any AV into the symantec pocket. But who am I to guess at it? I am using internet security '09. BTW, the updates are lightning fast...especially compared to '08 and earlier. A full update from install takes about 15 seconds on my system.

I also found a website where you can get bitdefender gamesafe with 40% off the price. Here: http://www.bitdefendergamesafeservers.com/ . It's just 14.97$ :) I use bitdefender gamesafe, it is the best. I also found a website where you can get bitdefender gamesafe with 40% off the price.

I really have to say, that I am impressed with this one. Hasent given me any problems so far, and for the time being i don't intend to changing AV's anytime soon. Norton youve got at least one happy customer here! Regards Hi there,

It has really improved a lot and gives good protection without slowing down the system. I am now Using Norton Too.

That is a rather lame advertisement. I would be interested in giving it a whirl but I will be sticking with my NOD32. I am surprised to see the claim of NOD32 using 32MB of RAM but that is actually true with my system; 33MB actually. Still it is loaded instantly, dosen't slow the system and never interrupts me so just a few more reasons not to switch. Wow. That is a rather lame advertisement.
