Use software security solutions
This section provides software solutions to secure your computer and information.
Windows 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 the
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.
To use Windows firewalls:
1. Type Control Panel in the Windows search box and then press Enter. View by large icons or small icons.
2. Click Windows Defender Firewall, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

The 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 the computer with a free 30-day subscription. After 30
days, you must renew the license to continue receiving the antivirus software updates.
