Does your new Lenovo computer have an FDE drive? Lenovo FDE drives are full disk encrypted hard disk drives that make it virtually impossible for unauthorized users to boot up your computer and steal your data. An encrypted hard disk doesn't necessarily mean you don't need Lenovo security software though.
While FDE drives are highly recommended to individuals and enterprise organizations alike, you still need to protect your computer from other threats. For example, spyware can still sneak onto your system, record your keystrokes, and report back to cybercriminals. Disk encryption does not protect computers from viruses, spyware, phishing schemes, and other threats; it encrypts the data stored on the drive so that if the computer is stolen, the data is unreadable.
Because these threats still exist, make sure to invest in an antivirus and anti-spyware solution from a reputable developer such as TrendMicro, McAfee, Symantec, or Sophos. As always, update your Internet security software and use care when downloading software, clicking unsolicited links, or responding to email messages that look like they're from a financial institution.
In addition to adding traditional security software to a Lenovo computer with FDE, enterprise organizations can use special server security software to manage Lenovo encryption across their Lenovo workstations and laptops. For example, WinMagic's SecureDoc for Lenovo allows for the centralized management of all of a company's encrypted devices including Lenovo ThinkPads, Macintosh laptops, Linux computers, encrypted USB drives, and so on.
When you have just one ThinkPad to manage, full disk encryption along with a good Internet security suite combine to protect your data from theft, viruses, and spyware. When you have an entire network of them, it managing encryption becomes more complex. Because of this complexity and the added benefits server security software offers, it's smart to choose a consolidated encryption management solution.
Full disk encryption for Lenovo computers on its own is a good start, but it's not enough. Beef up protection by adding stronger forms of Lenovo security software.

How to easily share files between your mobile phones and Computer
1. USB Data cable
You might be aware of these kinds of cables. USB (a) Universal Serial Bus is a wired technique of transferring files from computer to phone and vice versa.
These cables will be given along with your phone at the time you’ve bought it. Phones have an additional memory expansion card slot to which one side of the USB can be connected and the other end of the USB is connected to a slot in the computer.
There will also be a CD with the phone which contains software (PC Suite) that creates a bridge between phone and computer.
Other than this USB also provides additional features such as accessing the Internet. This is a better way of transferring files and it’s faster compared to other methods.
USB 3.1 is the recent version which has a cool feature called “Super Speed USB 10Gbps”. But a great disadvantage is that it’s a wired technique.
2. Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a method of creating a network called the “Pico-Network” and establishing a contact between the Computer and phone. Has a great advantage of being wireless, however time taken to transfer a file is from computer to phone takes a huge amount of time. Whereas it is easy to transfer the files from your phone to computer.
3. Card Readers
Card readers are the most sought method of transferring the files from your memory card. In the recent laptops there are additional slots to insert your memory card.
This method also has a drawback. Phone memory can’t be accessed using this method.
4. Bump
This is the age of “Smart-phones” right. App created regarding the transfer of files from computers to phone and vice versa is “Bump”. Older version of Bumps had the ability to transfer the files in one direction only i.e. phone to computer.
Upgraded versions of Bump have been developed in such a way files can be transferred bi-directional. These versions are available for both Apple and Android phones. To transfer the files the device should be “Bumped” with the device to pair.
To transfer files install the latest version of “Bump”. Then go to http//:bu.mp and locate the device and your files are ready to be transferred.
