Protecting the computer
Standard security features provided by the Windows operating system and the non-Windows
Computer Setup utility (BIOS) can protect your personal settings and data from a variety of risks.
NOTE: Security solutions are designed to act as deterrents. These deterrents may not prevent a
product from being mishandled or stolen.
NOTE: Before you send your computer for service, back up and delete confidential files, and
remove all password settings.
NOTE: Some features listed in this chapter may not be available on your computer.
NOTE: Your computer supports Computrace, which is an online security-based tracking and
recovery service available in select regions. If the computer is stolen, Computrace can track the
computer if the unauthorized user accesses the Internet. You must purchase the software and
subscribe to the service in order to use Computrace. For information about ordering the Computrace
software, go to the HP website at
http://www.hpshopping.com.
NOTE: If a webcam is installed or connected to the computer, and if the Face Recognition program
is installed, you can set the security level for Face Recognition to balance the ease of use and the
difficulty of breaching the security of the computer. Refer to the HP ProtectTools Getting Started
guide or the Face Recognition software Help.
