temp disable

is there an easy way to temporarily disable Avast Free to free up computer resources during game play?

You can disable the shields for a given amount of time. (10min/1hour)

avast 5 have a " Gaming Mode " if that is what you want ?

no… the gaming mode is just meant to get no alert :wink: the OP would like to stop Avast to free resources while gaming.

This is a non-sense… disabling the antivirus when you need it on…
Serious companies won’t release such a “gaming” mode (i.e., disabling the protection).
