A lot of people do this simply because it reduces the number of legitimate background processes that run during a gaming session, and lessens the load on an older or less powerful computer leading to better performance of the game itself. Shutting off any unnecessary processes during a game session helps, whether they're security-related or not.
Those players will also disable their internet connection so that nothing can come in or go out while the firewall/security software is disabled.
I tried this a couple times and didn't notice any change in performance, but I'm lucky enough to have a relatively new system that far exceeds the game's 5 year old specs.
