Introduction to ThinkVantage programs
This topic provides a brief introduction to some ThinkVantage programs.
Note: Depending on your computer 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.
