An introduction to Lenovo programs

This topic provides a brief introduction to some Lenovo programs.
Note: Depending on your computer 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
Use the Communications Utility program to configure settings for the camera and audio devices.
• 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 Settings
Use the Lenovo Settings program to enhance your computing experience by turning your computer into a
portable hotspot, configuring camera and audio settings, optimizing your power settings, and creating
and managing multiple network profiles.
• Lenovo Solution Center
