Lenovo programs overview

This topic provides a brief introduction to some Lenovo programs.

Note: Depending on your computer model, some of the programs might not be available.

Access Connections (Windows 7)

The Access Connections program is a connectivity assistant program for creating and managing location profiles. Each location profile stores all the network and Internet configuration settings needed for connecting to a network infrastructure from a specific location such as a home or an office.

By switching between location profiles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly and easily connect to a network with no need to reconfigure your settings manually and restart the computer each time.

Active Protection System (Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1)

The Active Protection System program protects your hard disk drive or hybrid drive when the shock sensor inside your computer detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock. The hard disk drive or hybrid drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating. This is because when the hard disk drive or hybrid drive is not operating, the system stops it from spinning, and might also move the read and write heads of the drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the shock sensor senses that the environment is stable again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it turns on the hard disk drive or hybrid drive.

Client Security Solution (Windows 7)

The Client Security Solution program protects your computer by securing client data and deflecting security breach attempts. It also can help manage your passwords, recover a forgotten password, monitor security settings on your computer, and suggest how to enhance your computer security.

Communications Utility (Windows 7)

Use the Communications Utility program to configure settings for the integrated camera and audio devices.

Lenovo Fingerprint Manager (Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1)

If your system comes with a fingerprint reader, the Lenovo Fingerprint Manager program enables you to enroll your fingerprint and associate it with your Windows password. As a result, the fingerprint authentication can replace your password and enable simple and secure user access.

Lenovo Companion (Windows 8 and Windows 8.1)

Through the Lenovo Companion program, you can get the information about the accessories for your computer, view blogs and articles about your computer, and check for other recommended programs.

Lenovo Settings (Windows 8 and Windows 8.1)

The Lenovo Settings program enables you to enhance your computing experience by turning your computer into a portable hotspot (for Windows 8 only), configuring camera and audio settings, optimizing your power settings, and creating and managing multiple network profiles.
