2 Input [Windows Firewall] into [Search] and select . 3 Select [Windows Firewall overview]. NOTE If the message“Your computer might be at risk” is displayed Computer Viruses Read the message, select (red icon) on the taskbar, and make the appropriate settings. This message, which the Windows Security Center ( page 22) displays to confirm the security- related settings regularly, will be displayed until the settings are made more properly. NOTE This message does not indicate an error. You can use the computer while the message is displayed. However, in order to operate the computer more safely, we recommend making the appropriate measures to reduce damage from virus and other attacks, thus avoiding the appearance of this message. The Pop-up Blocker In Windows XP, security functions have been strengthened with regard to Web contents. One of these is the “Pop-up Blocker,” which may prevent some Web pages from being displayed. Users are advised to purchase the latest versions of virus protection software and use them regularly. We recommend you run the software: • When booting your computer. • After receiving data. We recommend that you check data received on disks or from external sources, such as data downloaded from the Internet, e-mail, etc. (For compressed files, uncompress them before running a check). For Data Execution Prevention (DEP), you can make one of the settings in the following menu. [start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [System] - [Advanced] - [Settings] (in [Performance]) - [Data Execution Prevention]. For more information, refer to Windows help. Windows Update You can use the latest patches and service packs for Windows with the following menus. Do not apply “Driver Updates” even if a message to update a driver appears. If a driver update is required, contact to Panasonic Technical Support. ( page 44) [start] - [All programs] - [Windows Update] Operation Useful Information Saving Data on the Hard Disk Operation Do not expose your computer to shock. Use care when handling your computer, shock may damage your hard disk or make your software applications and data unusable. Do not power off your computer while software applications are running or hard disk drive indicator is on. Properly shut Windows down to avoid problems. Save all valuable data to disks. Backing up data to disks will limit damage should trouble occur to your computer or should you inadvertently change or erase data. Use the security function for all important data. ( “Security Measures” and “SD Memory Card Security Function”) Hard Disk Lock When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the hard disk when the hard disk is installed in a different computer. When the hard disk is returned to the original computer, you can read/write data as before. In this case, however, make the settings in the Setup Utility exactly the same as they were before the hard disk was removed. (Note that this Hard Disk Lock does not guarantee the complete protection of data.) ( “Security Measures”) Saving Data on Floppy Disks Write-protect Tab Write Enable Write Disable Do not power off your computer or press the floppy disk drive eject button while the multimedia pocket device indicator is on. Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the floppy disk useless. Use care when handling floppy disks. To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming stuck in your computer, avoid the following: • Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually. • Exposing the floppy disk to a magnetic field. • Storing the floppy disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness, or dust. • Applying more than one label on the floppy disk. Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it. Confirm that no important data is on the floppy disk, because all data on the floppy disk will be erased. Use the write-protect tab. This is a must for preserving important data. This prevents your data from being erased or overwritten. When Using Peripheral Devices Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral devices, cables, etc. Also, in addition to following this manual and the Reference Manual, carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used. Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computer’s specifications. Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors. If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to confirm the condition and position of the connector (alignment of pins, etc.) . If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly. Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully.
