applications work in Safe Mode. This is why most viruses are inactive when using

Windows in Safe Mode and they can be easily removed.

To start Windows in Safe Mode, restart your computer and press the F8 key until

the Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. You can choose between several

options of starting Windows in Safe Mode. You might want to select Safe Mode

with Networking in order to be able to access the Internet.

Note

For more information on Safe Mode, go to the Windows Help and Support Center (in

the Start menu, click Help and Support). You can also find useful information by

searching the Internet.

6.6. 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 2010 includes

two special operation modes:

⚫ Game Mode

⚫ Laptop Mode

6.6.1. 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:

⚫ Minimize processor time & memory consumption

⚫ Postpone automatic updates & scans

⚫ Eliminate all alerts and pop-ups

⚫ Scan only the most important files

While in Game Mode, you can see the letter G over the BitDefender icon.

Using Game Mode

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. BitDefender will automatically return to the normal operation mode when

you close the game or when the detected application exits full screen.

If you want to manually turn on Game Mode, use one of the following methods:

⚫ Right-click the BitDefender icon in the system tray and select Turn on Game

Mode.
