5.5. Game Mode and Laptop Mode
Some computer activities, such as games or presentations, require increased system
responsiveness and performance, and no interruptions. When your laptop is running
on battery power, it is best that unnecessary operations, which consume additional
power, be postponed until the laptop is connected back to A/C power.
To adapt to these particular situations, Bitdefender Total Security 2013 includes
two special operation modes:
● Game Mode
● Laptop Mode
5.5.1. Game Mode
Game Mode temporarily modifies protection settings so as to minimize their impact
on system performance. The following settings are applied when Game Mode is on:
● All Bitdefender alerts and pop-ups are disabled.
● On-access scanning is set to the Permissive protection level.
● Autoscan is turned off. Autoscan finds and uses time-slices when system resource
usage falls below a certain threshold to perform recurring scans of the entire
system.
