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 an Anti-Virus Strategy
You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that
could damage your files.
Using the Windows Security Center (Windows Vista
only)
Windows Security Center alerts you to take action on the following security
essentials:
Windows Firewall
Windows Update
Malware Protection (anti-virus, anti-spyware)
Others (Internet security, user account control)
For detailed information on Windows Security Center, see Windows’ Help.
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 BIOS Setup program. See “Security Menu” in
Chapter 5 for instructions.
