Using firewalls

A firewall can be hardware, software, or a combination of both depending on the level of security required.
Firewalls work on a set of rules to determine which inbound and outbound connections are authorized. If
your computer is preinstalled with a firewall program, it helps protect 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 system of your firewall program.

1. Depending on your Windows version, do one of the following:
• For Windows 7: Click the Start button to open the Start menu.
• For Windows 10: Right-click the Start button to open the Start context menu.
2. Click Control Panel. View Control Panel by Large icons or Small icons, and then click Windows
Firewall.

Protecting data against viruses

Your computer is preinstalled with an antivirus program to help you guard against, 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.
Note: Virus definition files must be kept up-to-date to guard against new viruses.
For more information about how to use your antivirus software, refer to the help system of your antivirus
software.
