6.6.2. Laptop Mode
Laptop Mode is especially designed for laptop and notebook users. Its purpose is to
minimize BitDefender's impact on power consumption while these devices are
running on battery. While in Laptop Mode, scheduled scan tasks are not performed,
as they require more system resources and, implicitly, increase power consumption.
BitDefender detects when your laptop has switched to battery power and it
automatically enters Laptop Mode. Likewise, BitDefender automatically exits Laptop
Mode, when it detects the laptop is no longer running on battery.
To use Laptop Mode, you must specify in the configuration wizard that you are using
a laptop. If you did not select the appropriate option when running the wizard, you
can later enable Laptop Mode as follows:
1. Open BitDefender.
2. Click the Settings button in the upper-right corner of the window.
3. In the General Settings category, select the check box corresponding to Laptop
Mode Detection.
4. Click OK to save and apply the changes.
6.7. Automatic Device Detection
BitDefender automatically detects when you connect a removable storage device
to your computer and offers to scan it before you access its files. This is
recommended in order to prevent viruses and other malware from infecting your
computer.
Detected devices fall into one of these categories:
CDs/DVDs
USB storage devices, such as flash pens and external hard-drives
mapped (remote) network drives
When such a device is detected, an alert window is displayed.
