Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
However, if GameSafe can reduce processing
power, memory and virtual memory resource usage without impacting upon
the overall security of the PC, it does rather lead one to ask:
Why can't we all just dump the resource gobbling security suites and
save a few quid by installing such a cut down solution? Surely, if what
BitDefender says is true then we do not need anything more?
Hmm, well it seems it is not quite as simple as that. GameSafe
minimises both processor time and memory consumption but it does this
by doing things you wouldn't want during your everyday computing usage.
For example, it will postpone automatic updates and scans, eliminate
pop-ups and alerts, and apply a virus scanning level where only the
most important files are scanned.
Perhaps a better solution would be to install a proper, full-on,
security suite and just configure that to do less when you are playing
games? Maybe courtesy of a gaming mode of some kind? One that is
activated by pressing the 'game mode' button maybe?
Just like a number of security suites already do, in fact. Go Google
'Security Suite Game Mode' for a few examples. Oh well, back to the
niche solutions drawing board perhaps...
