We're curious to know what PC gamers think about antivirus.  What's working for you?  What isn't?  What would you like to see in an antivirus program to complement your PC gaming activities?  Do you feel like you need to disable your antivirus software in order to have a successful gaming experience?  If you're a Webroot user, what particular things make you happy about Webroot as a companion to PC gaming?  Is there anything we need to change to improve the experience?  Are we doing better or worse than whatever antivirus software you had previously?  Have you ever contacted support about a gaming issue?  If so, how did that experience go for you, and what was the issue?

 

We believe we have what is currently the best antivirus program available for PC gamers because of our light footprint, minimal resource usage, and our Identity Shield, which protects even your games from information-stealing attacks like keyloggers that can be used to hijack your account.

 

I don't think we have a lot of gamers on this community, but I could be wrong (and actually I hope I am because I'm a big gamer myself and I'd like to get to know you!).  If you know a gamer, please ask them to let us know what they think about antivirus software and gaming in this topic.  We're always interested in improving, and this is one area we'd like to focus on to ensure we're giving every Webroot-using PC gaming enthusiast the best possible experience we can.

 

Please let us know what you think.
Yeah! We're all gamers, of all kinds of any system, mostly PC gamers, includign FPS games haha. We really had a blast making it! 
Thank you!!! We all had a blast making it!!
Can't wait for BF 4 and Ghosts!! 

 

Excellent video dude, thanks for sharing! :robothappy:
Let's open this up for more general gaming discussions.  Post the last game you played on your WSA-protected system!

 

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

I usually don't like MMO's, but this one is really well done.  The interface is about as close to perfect as you can get in an MMO, and the story isn't too bad.  The graphics leave a little to be desired, and the voice-acting is sporadic and inconsistent.  The dynamics are awesome though, and you can really customize your character to a great extent.  I wish it had voice-chat too.  Overall, it's just a heck of a lot of fun to play though.  Runs smoothly, and WSA has had no impact on it.  It's fully whitelisted, so there aren't even any unknown files for WSA to concern itself with.
Borderlands 2.

Smooth awesome gameplay without having to touch Webroot ever!
I downloaded cheat engine which is NOT a virus but webroot just keeps saying it is. How do I let a program get through webroot?
