Using and understanding firewalls

A firewall can be hardware, software, or a combination of both depending on the level of security required. Firewalls work on a set of rules to determine which inbound and outbound connections are authorized. If your computer is preintalled with a firewall program, it helps protect against computer Internet security threats, unauthorized access, intrusions, and Internet attacks. It also protects your privacy. For more information about how to use the firewall program, refer to the help system of your firewall program.

The Windows operating system preinstalled on your computer provides the Windows Firewall. For details on using the Windows Firewall, refer to “Help and Support” on page 111.

Protecting data against viruses

Your computer is preinstalled with an antivirus program to help you guard against, detect, and eliminate viruses.

Lenovo provides a full version of antivirus software on your computer with a free 30-day subscription. After 30 days, you must renew the license to continue receiving the antivirus software updates.

Note: Virus definition files must be kept up-to-date to guard against new viruses.

For more information about how to use your antivirus software, refer to the help system of your antivirus software.
