A Lot Of Things.

After I installed Total Security, my "My Computer" thing on my desktop changed colors. I haven't tested to see if it really was Total Security's fault, but I'm just noting that I noticed the change in appearance after the installation. My main concern in this post is actually not about the cosmetics change, but rather, gamer mode. Gamer mode actually slows my computer down when I'm gaming. A lot... I might add that when using the laptop regularly for surfing/researching Bitdefender seems to be so silent, but as you increase the workload of the computer I can tell the difference with Bitdefender compared to without Bitdefender. I understand that as you increase the workload of the computers with antivirus suites, it won't perform as good but I thought that "Photon" was supposed to adapt to the fact that my computer's workload is increased and it'll automatically decrease the strain coming from Bitdefender as a counter-measure to lowering the performance of the computer. Is there something that I have to go tick/untick in order to not experience the performance drop while in gamer mode?
