Reserving operating system resources for computer games

When Kaspersky Anti-Virus runs in full-screen mode together with some other applications (particularly computer games), the following issues may occur:

• Application or game performance decreases due to lack of system resources
• Notification windows of Kaspersky Anti-Virus distract the user from the gaming process

To avoid changing the settings of Kaspersky Anti-Virus manually every time you switch to full-screen mode, you can use Gaming Profile. When Gaming Profile is enabled, switching to full-screen mode automatically changes the settings of all the components of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, ensuring optimal system functioning in that mode. After you exit from full-screen mode, application settings return to the initial values used before full-screen mode was activated.

To enable Gaming Profile:

1. Open the main application window.
2. Click the button in the lower part of the window.

   The Settings window opens.

3. In the left part of the window, select the Performance section.

   The window displays the performance settings of Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

4. Select the Automatically disable some Kaspersky Anti-Virus functionality (such as notifications) when applications are launched in full-screen mode check box.
