Virus protection
Your computer has built-in virus protection that can be enabled through the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. In addition, Norton AntiVirus for
IBM is available on the IBM Software Selections CD. For further information
about Norton AntiVirus for IBM or other software, see About Your Software.
Enhanced security
Your computer has an enhanced security feature that provides extra
protection for your administrator password and your startup sequence
settings. With enhanced security, your administrator password and startup
sequence are stored in a highly-protected, nonvolatile, security EEPROM
module that is separate from CMOS memory and the EEPROM module that
stores system programs. When your administrator password and security
sequence are protected by enhanced security, they remain intact even if the
battery in your computer expires or is removed by someone. For more
information, see “Using Enhanced Security” on page 46.
Locking the keyboard
You can disable the keyboard so that others are unable to use it. If a
power-on password is set, the keyboard is locked when you turn on the
computer. You must type the correct password before the keyboard will
unlock. You can enable the power-on password feature with the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. See Chapter 4, “Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 37.
Some operating systems have a keyboard and mouse lock-up feature.
Check the documentation that comes with your operating system for more
information.
