Lenovo program overview
This topic provides information about some Lenovo programs.
Note: Depending on the model, some of the programs might not be available.
• Access Connections
The Access Connections program is a connectivity assistant program for creating and managing location
proles. Each location prole stores all the network and Internet conguration settings needed for
connecting to a network infrastructure from a specic location such as a home or an ofce.
By switching between location proles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly
and easily connect to a network with no need to recongure your settings manually and restart the
computer each time.
• Active Protection System
The Active Protection System program protects your hard disk 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 is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating. This is because when
the hard disk 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 the
hard disk drive on.
• Client Security Solution
The Client Security Solution program protects your computer by securing client data and deecting
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
The Communications Utility program enables you to congure settings for the integrated camera and
audio devices.
• Fingerprint Manager Pro
If your computer comes with a ngerprint reader, the Fingerprint Manager Pro program enables you
to enroll your ngerprint and associate it with your Windows password. As a result, the ngerprint
