Most likely, you're not.

Why did *you* install anti-virus in the first place?

I'm not saying you shouldn't have; but if you ponder what *your* motivation
was, therein somewhere probably lies your answer (Grasshopper).

I daresay these are online games...? If not, just yank the network/modem
cable while you play.

Whenever I see this " Am I Safe? " I think of the Dental Drilling scene
from the " Marathon Man " circa 1976. Didnt go to the
Dentist for a few years after seeing it. Anyway, did you try another
anti-virus program? Clam, AVG are two free ones.

I highly recommend NOT uninstalling your virus checker.

If you are not playing games on-line...

just disconnect from the internet.

then turn your virus checker off...

When you are done with the games...

just turn the virus checker back on
and reconnect to the internet

There is only one answer to your question: NO
Install Avast free 4 home.

http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Avast Anti-Virus is XP and Vista compatible (32bit and 64bit Versions),
FREE, auto-updating, and a low resources user of your computer.
And, only have 1(one) Anti-Virus installed / running on your computer at any
one time..
Conflicts may occur if you have more than 1(one).

How is caching changes to the hard drive (to then wipe them on a reboot
to revert to a prior state of the partition) going to protect you? One,
until you revert, any malware will still be on your host doing whatever
it wants. Two, if your data is in the same partition then any changes
you make to it will be lost when you revert. Three, if your data is in
a different partition (which is not protected with cached changes by
DeepFreeze), that won't prevent malware altering, deleting, or
transmitting those data files, and the same for all user data on the
partition that is being cached (since at the time of caching the malware
still gets to do whatever it wants).

No, you are not safe. You can't use DeepFreeze to protect you from
malware. You use it to revert your partition back to a prior state
(which may or may not be clean).

Because I'm not interested in paying for DeepFreeze, and because the
free version has the features that I need, I use Returnil. So I know
that change caching does NOT block malware from getting onto your host
nor does it protect your host from any actions committed by that malware
while it is on your host. All that DeepFreeze and Returnil will let you
do is revert the partition back to a prior state which is hopefully
before the malware showed up - but then you won't know since you removed
all other detection software!

Go actually read the description of DeepFreeze at Faronics' web site.
Then you'll know what it really does.

Also, how does the anti-virus program "conflict" with your game(s)?
I've used Norton, McAfee, Avira, AVG, and Avast and have yet to
encounter problems with them (other than some don't have intelligent
schedulers of when to run a scan so they generate too much disk activity
while I'm playing a game or using other software). You never bothered
to mention WHICH antivirus program that you use. If looking for a
freebie, try Avast. AVG v8 has some nasty false positive on well-known
software, its impolite web crawler feature should be disabled, and I had
other problems with it. Avira is okay (and there are ways to eliminate
their adware popup window during updates). I eventually settled on
Avast after trying all the major freebies. Do NOT bother with ClamWin.
It is an open source project that suffers from extremely low coverage of
pests, as does Comodo's freebie.

No
