Why BullGuard Gamers' Edition?

BullGuard Gamers' Edition is especially designed for online gamers. The concept of BullGuard Gamers' Edition is in the game mode. When you launch a supported game, BullGuard Gamers' Edition enters the game mode, which causes the application to use less system resources and stop all user notifications during the game.

This ensures you get a quality game experience without any pop-ups or slowdowns, while still being fully protected against online threats like viruses, spyware and hackers.

What is the difference between BullGuard Internet Security and BullGuard Gamers' Edition?

While BullGuard Internet Security is a security system designed for all home users and small businesses, BullGuard Gamers' Edition is especially designed for those who play online games.

BullGuard Gamers' Edition has a special module to be used while playing online. Your computer will be able to run the game with maximum hardware resources, while BullGuard Gamers' Edition prevents any annoying pop-ups or slowdowns during this time. This way, your game will run as good as your hardware is, without any other software issues.

What is so special about the Gaming module?

BullGuard Gamers' Edition offers integrated support for most popular PC games and auto-updates with new game profiles as new PC game titles are released onto the market.

The Gaming plugin is designed specifically for online gamers, and enables the application to automatically switch to "game mode" whenever the user launches a supported online game.

While in "game mode", BullGuard Gamers' Edition uses only minimal system resources, does not initiate scheduled scans / back-ups and halts auto-updating of virus definitions and all user notifications to allow the users to focus on their online games.

Do gamers need an antivirus application?

Yes. Online gamers tend to use the Internet a lot, which puts them in the danger zone when it comes to viruses and trojans. You have probably seen the horror-stories from major BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer) LAN-events, where one infected computer can bring down the entire network, and infect all other computers with viruses.

Do gamers need a firewall?

Yes, defintely. Competitive games are usually highly ping-dependant (examples: Counter-Strike, Warcraft III, Quake), and a firewall works in two ways - it makes sure no unwanted traffic gets access to your computer, and it also makes sure no unauthorised programs take up precious bandwidth while you play.

Do gamers need a backup drive?

Competitive gamers probably reinstall their machine more than anyone, to make sure their Windows installation is running fast and smooth. BullGuard Gamers' Edition's backup feature offers an easy way to save those important files you always need when you have reinstalled.

It also offers an easy way to access game configurations from anywhere in the world - and a place to put your replays/demos.
