If an Encryption solid state drive or a Disk Encryption hard disk drive is supported and installed in your computer, you can logically dispose of all the data on the drive in a very short time by erasing the cryptographic key. The data encrypted with the old key is not physically erased but remains on the drive; however, it cannot be decrypted without the old key. This feature is enabled by ThinkPad Setup Menu Extension Utility and is available as a menu item in ThinkPad Setup. Using firewalls If your system is preintalled with a firewall program, it protects 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 information system that comes with the program. Protecting data against viruses Your computer is preinstalled with an antivirus program so you can detect and eliminate viruses. The antivirus program is designed to help you 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. For more information about how to use your antivirus software, refer to the help information system of your antivirus software. Chapter 4. Security 61
