Question about NOD32 exclusion and gaming

[Ands 0]

Hello everyone,

I was looking at the performance and processes esclusions option and I was wondering if it makes sence to ad to both exclusions the game .exe and the game folder to minimize ESET overhead while gaming,

Should i use both exclusion settings, only one or no one?

Thank you in advance!!!

Please elaborate more on what kind of performance issues you are having while playing games. When an application running in full-screen mode is detected, the gamer mode is activated and scheduled scans and updates are paused.

Hello Marcos,

I dont actually have a specific issue. But since I have a gaming laptop which I mainly use for gaming I am always willing to find the best way to maximize performance. I know that ESET real time scanner because of its nature it can slows down processes. I am wondering if there is some optimization that can be done in the setting to avoid that eset scanner could negativelly affect gaming performace.

There is gamer mode, no further optimization is needed. ESET has a very small footprint so basically you shouldn't see any performance impact with real-time protection enabled or disabled while playing games.
