BitDefender Gamer Mode
Playing It Safe?
Games, especially online ones, are some of the most demanding PC applications existing today. Games typically make use of as many system resources as they can access because they must be highly responsive, providing near-instant reaction to users' actions. Therefore, the more resources, the better the gaming experience.
To address gamers' needs BitDefender 2008 introduces the Gamer Mode, a "profile" or a collection of protection settings chosen by experts at the BitDefender Labs in order to keep the product's impact low and the game, safe. The Gamer Mode profile can be used with any game and it can be turned on with just one click.
But why is a Gamer Mode necessary after all? With games including an online component, the absence of delays in packet transmission is paramount to enjoying online games to the full. That is why BitDefender's Gamer Mode setting postpones automatic updates, does away with all alerts and pop-ups and sets the scanning level to "permissive" so that only the most important files are scanned. The result: no interruptions while chasing the bad guy or conquering virtual worlds.
Moreover, there is no need for gamers to disable the product's firewall while playing as it is designed to accept certain connections that do not match the existing security rules, but which are instrumental to the gaming experience.
Hence, this mode allows achieving three goals that are essential to a smooth gaming experience: minimized system load, zero demands on the network connection and no interruptions.
