Guest Tempus Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Emsisoft How does game mode work. Does Emsisoft anti malware suppress updates under a gaming session? And what about the behavior blocker ? Does it take decisions based on the community, when it's in game mode? Or does it restrict a suspicious behavior untill the game is done? or, is the behavior blocker inactive in game mode ? Btw. I tried to seek information about " Game mode " In Emsisoft main interface, when I under " Help " wrote " game mode " in the Index box. But nothing came up?

Christian Mairoll Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 If game mode is enabled, all popups are suppressed and confirmed with their suggested default actions. Which basically means that if the behavior blocker would suggest to block an object, game mode blocks it automatically. Updater and other notification popups are just not displayed at all.

Guest Tempus Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks for the clarification Christian Mairoll . So if you have a gaming session on " Steam " or other online servers, and is curious about the background activity Emsisoft does , then I will be able to backtrace all activity in the logs, right ? (if any suspicious activity has occurred) Thanks Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Mairoll Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yes. You will see all auto-confirmed alerts in the logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tempus Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi I am a little confused, hope that you/Emsisoft will clear out the clutter in my understanding of " Game Mode " I received a splendid explanation of Gamemode, see above. But I got the perception of Game mode, that it would update in the background, and you will be able from the logs to see the virus database update, that has occured while you were in Game Mode. If I have understood it correctly? Then why can it be, than after 3 hours in game mode, and when I checked the update logs, I find that the last update has also occurred 3 hours ago, and not every hour? When I leaving Game mode , then I will first receive an update after an hour, recording to the default settings. Would it be an idea, that if your are leaving Game mode, then will Emsisoft immediately "ping" the update server to receive the latest updates?

Christian Mairoll Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thank you for your observations. We'll look into that asap. I think it would make sense to push an auto-update immediately when game mode ends and an interval was missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
