Turning Game Mode On and Off
To turn Game Mode on:
- Do one of the following:
- In ZoneAlarm, choose Tools | Game Mode.
- Or, right‑click the ZoneAlarm notification tray icon and choose Game Mode...
- In the dialog that appears, choose one of the following:
Answer all alerts with "allow"—Permission requests will be granted.
Answer all alerts with "deny"—Permission requests will be denied.
See Understanding Game Mode for more information.
|
Important - The use of Game Mode may reduce the security of your system. If you choose to allow all permission requests, you may increase the chances of a malicious program harming your computer or gaining access to your data. If, on the other hand, you choose to deny all requests, you may interrupt the functions of a legitimate program.
You should activate Game Mode only for the duration of your game.
|
- Leave the Activate Game Mode dialog open or minimize it, but do not close it.
|
Important - If you close the Activate Game Mode dialog, you turn Game Mode off.
|
While Game Mode is on, ZoneAlarm security software displays a special notification icon in the lower left corner of your screen.
To turn Game Mode off:
- Do one of the following:
- Close the Activate Game Mode dialog by clicking either Cancel or the Close icon (x) at upper right.
- Click Stop Game Mode in the Activate Game Mode dialog.
- Right‑click the notification icon and choose Stop Game Mode.
Note that Game Mode is automatically deactivated if you turn off your computer or if you turn off ZoneAlarm security software.
