Internet Security

Application settings in full-screen mode. Gaming profile

Certain programs (especially computer games) running in full-screen mode are marginally compatible with some features of Kaspersky Internet Security: for example, pop-up notifications are really undesirable in that mode. Quite often those applications require significant system resources, meaning that running certain Kaspersky Internet Security tasks may slow down their performance.

To avoid manually disabling notifications and pausing tasks every time you launch full-screen applications, Kaspersky Internet Security provides the option of temporarily changing the settings using the gaming profile. When the Gaming Profile is active, switching to full-screen mode automatically changes the settings of all product components to ensure optimal system functioning in that mode. Upon exit from the full-screen mode, product settings return to the initial values used before entering the full-screen mode.

To enable the gaming profile, perform the following tasks:

1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Advanced Settings section, select the Gaming Profile subsection.
3. Check the box  Use Gaming Profile and specify in the Profile options section below the necessary gaming profile settings.
