PERFORMANCE AND COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER
APPLICATIONS
The performance of Kaspersky Internet Security is defined as the range of threats it can detect, as well as its
consumption of energy and computer resources.
Kaspersky Internet Security allows you to select various categories of threats (see section "Selecting detectable threat
categories" on page 156) that the application should detect.
Energy consumption is of great importance for portable computers. Scanning a computer for viruses and updating the
Kaspersky Internet Security databases often require significant amounts of resources. The special laptop mode of
Kaspersky Internet Security (see section "Battery saving" on page 156) allows you to automatically postpone scheduled
scan and update tasks when using batteries, thus saving battery charge, while Idle Scan mode (see section "Running
tasks in background mode" on page 157) allows you to run resource-intensive tasks when your computer is not in use.
Consumption of the computer's resources by Kaspersky Internet Security may impact other applications' performance.
To solve problems of simultaneous operations which increase the load on the CPU and disk subsystems, Kaspersky
Internet Security may pause scan tasks and concede resources to other applications (see section "Distributing computer
resources when scanning for viruses" on page 157) running on your computer.
In the Gaming Profile (see page 158) mode, the application automatically disables displaying notifications of Kaspersky
Internet Security's activity when starting other applications in full-screen mode.
