Lenovo program overview

This topic provides information about some Lenovo programs.
Note: Depending on the 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
profiles. Each location profile stores all the network and Internet configuration settings needed for
connecting to a network infrastructure from a specific location, such as a home or an office.
By switching between location profiles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly
and easily connect to a network with no need to reconfigure 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 deflecting
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.
• Communications Utility
The Communications Utility program enables you to configure settings for the camera and audio devices.
• Fingerprint Software
If your computer comes with a fingerprint reader, the Fingerprint Software program enables you to enroll
your fingerprint and associate it with your Windows password. As a result, the fingerprint authentication
can replace your password and enable simple and secure user access.
• Lenovo Cloud Storage
The Lenovo Cloud Storage program enables you to upload and store your local files on a remote Lenovo
server. You can view and download the stored files at any time.
• Lenovo Companion
Through the Lenovo Companion program, you can get the information about the accessories for your
computer, view blogs and articles about your computer, and check for other recommended programs.
• Lenovo Mobile Access
Sign in with your Microsoft account to register for service, purchase data plans, make payments online,
and manage your mobile account information.
• Lenovo QuickLaunch
The Lenovo QuickLaunch program enables you to quickly access the programs installed on your
computer, including Lenovo programs, Microsoft programs, and other third-party programs.
• Lenovo QuickSend
