9 Security

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
