Protecting the Computer

To safeguard the integrity of your computer data as well as the computer itself, you can protect the computer in several ways as described in this section.

Using the Password

The power-on password protects your computer against unauthorized use. If the password is set, the prompt requesting for the password appears on the screen whenever the computer is turned on.

The password is set via the SCU program. See “Security Menu” in Chapter 5 for instructions.

Using an Anti-Virus Strategy

New viruses are always being developed nowadays and they are attacking computers even more easily with emails so commonly used worldwide.

The Security feature of the SCU program protects the boot sector of the hard disk. To enable the function, see “Security Menu” in Chapter 5 for instructions.

You can also install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could damage your files.
