mode. Norton 360 detects the application that you run
in the full-screen mode and automatically enables
Silent Mode. When Silent Mode is enabled, Norton 360
suppresses most of the alerts and suspends background
activities. Only those activities run that are involved
in protecting your computer from viruses and other
security threats. Minimum background activities also
ensure high performance of your computer. The
activities that are suspended run after you finish using
the application in the full-screen mode.
Silent Mode also helps you maintain an uninterrupted
Media Center Extender session. A Media Center
Extender session is an extended session of Media Center
to an entertainment device, such as a television. The
alerts and notifications that appear during a Media
Center Extender session disconnect the session between
the host computer and the entertainment device.
Norton 360 identifies a Media Center Extender session
as an active full-screen application and turns on Silent
Mode. When Silent Mode is enabled, Norton 360
suppresses alerts and notifications and suspends
background activities to provide uninterrupted sessions
for Silent Mode options such as Full Screen Detection
or Media Center applications.
Turning off or turning on Full Screen Detection
You can use the Full Screen Detection option in the
Settings window to turn on or turn off Silent Mode
automatically when Norton 360 detects a full-screen
application. By default, the Full Screen Detection
option remains turned on after you install Norton 360.
