BitDefender Antivirus Pro 2011
21. Game / Laptop Mode
The Game / Laptop Mode module allows you to configure the special operation
modes of BitDefender:
● Game Mode temporarily modifies the product settings so as to minimize the
resource consumption when you play.
● Laptop Mode prevents scheduled tasks from running when the laptop is running
on battery in order to save battery power.
● Silent Mode temporarily modifies the product settings so as to minimize the
interruptions when you watch movies or presentations.
21.1. Game Mode
Game Mode temporarily modifies protection settings so as to minimize their impact
on system performance. While in Game Mode, the following settings are applied:
● All BitDefender alerts and pop-ups are disabled.
● The BitDefender real-time protection level is set to Permissive.
● Updates are not performed by default.
Note
To change this setting, go to Update>Settings and clear the Don't update if
Game Mode is on check box.
By default, BitDefender automatically enters Game Mode when you start a game
from the BitDefender's list of known games or when an application goes to full
screen. You can manually enter Game Mode using the default Ctrl+Alt+Shift+G
hotkey. It is strongly recommended that you exit Game Mode when you finished
playing (you can use the same default Ctrl+Alt+Shift+G hotkey).
Note
While in Game Mode, you can see the letter G over the BitDefender icon.
To configure Game Mode:
1. Open BitDefender, click Options in the upper-right corner of the window and
choose Expert View.
2. Go to Game/Laptop Mode > Game Mode.
At the top of the section, you can see the status of the Game Mode. You can click
Game Mode is enabled or Game Mode is turned off to change the current
status.
