How would you like an anti-virus software which is specially made for gamers? Bitdefender GameSafe was launched last month to specifically target the gaming community.
One of the very troublesome matter faced by gamers are pop-up appearing during a game causing a full-screen game window to minimize. Pop-ups ranging from virus update definitions, firewall permission/blocked alert and to virus found alerts frequently disturbs the gamer from enjoying the full quality of a game.
According to Bitdefender’s GameSafe press release “A system slow-down can have a life or death consequences in the virtual world. GameSafe keeps the impact on processing power, memory and virtual memory to a minimum, allowing gamers to maintain “in-game” responsiveness and eliminating interruptions during play.”

Actually, you can set up hot keys to toggle Game Mode on and off in the advance settings. I have the default setting of ALT and G keys bound together.
