RECOVERY
If you are having trouble with your computer, and the frequently asked
questions (see Frequently asked questions on page 78) do not
help, you can 'recover' your computer - i.e. return it to an earlier state.
This section describes the recovery tools available on your computer.
Acer provides , which allows you to Acer Recovery Management
create a recovery backup, a drivers and applications backup, and to
start recovery options, either using Windows tools, or the recovery
backup.
Creating a recovery backup
To reinstall from a USB storage drive, you must first create a recovery
backup. The recovery backup includes the entire original contents of
your computer’s hard drive, including Windows and all factory-loaded
software and drivers. Using this backup will restore your computer to
the same state as when you purchased it, while giving you an option
to retain all settings and personal data.
Note
Acer Recovery Management is only available with a pre-installed Windows
operating system.
Important
We recommend that you create a Recovery Backup and Drivers and
Applications Backup and as soon as possible.
In certain situations a full recovery will require a USB recovery backup.
Note
Since the recovery backup requires at least 16
GB of storage after formatting,
it is recommended to use a USB drive with a capacity of 32
GB or larger.
3 - Recovery
1. From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Acer Recovery
Management in the list of apps.
2. Click Create Factory Default Backup. The Recovery Drive window
opens.
Make sure Copy contents from the recovery partition to the
recovery drive is selected. This provides the most complete and
safest recovery backup.
3. Plug in the USB drive then click Next.
Recovery - 4
• Since the recovery backup requires at least 16
GB of storage after
formatting, it is recommended to use a USB drive with a capacity
of 32
GB or larger.
4. You will be shown the backup progress on the screen.
5. Follow the process until it completes.
6. After creating the recovery backup, you can choose to delete the
recovery information on your computer. If you delete this
information, you can only use the USB recovery backup to restore
your computer, if you lose or erase the USB drive, you cannot
restore your computer.
7. Unplug the USB drive and label it clearly.
Creating a drivers and applications backup
To create a Drivers and Applications Backup, that contains the
factory-loaded software and drivers needed by your computer, you

enough capacity before continuing.
• If using DVDs, it will also show the number of blank, recordable
discs you will need to complete the recovery discs. Make sure that
you have the required number of identical, blank discs.
3. Click Start to copy files.You will be shown the backup progress on
the screen.
4. Follow the process until it completes:
• If you are using optical discs, the drive ejects each disc as it
completes burning it. Remove the disc from the drive and mark it
Recovery - 6
with a permanent marker.
If multiple discs are required, insert a new disc when prompted,
then click OK. Continue until the process is complete.
• If you are using a USB drive, unplug the drive and label it clearly.
Recovering your system
To recover your system:
1. Perform minor fixes.
If only one or two items of software or hardware have stopped
working correctly, the problem may be solved by reinstalling the
software or the device drivers.
To reinstall software and drivers that were pre-installed at the
factory, see Reinstalling drivers and applications on page 7.
For instructions on reinstalling software and drivers that were not
pre-installed, see that product’s documentation or support Web site.
2. Revert to a previous system condition.
If reinstalling software or drivers does not help, then the problem
may be solved by returning your system to a previous state when
everything was working correctly.
For instructions, see Returning to an earlier system snapshot on
page 9.
3. Reset your operating system.
If nothing else has solved the problem and you want to reset your
system, but keep your user information, see Returning your
system to its factory condition on page 10.
4. Reset your system to its factory condition.
If nothing else has solved the problem and you want to reset your
system to factory condition, see Returning your system to its
factory condition on page 10.
Important
Write a unique, descriptive label on each backup, such as 'Drivers and
Applications Backup'. Make sure you keep the backup in a safe place
that you will remember.

Reinstalling drivers and applications
As a troubleshooting step, you may need to reinstall the applications
and device drivers that came pre-installed on your computer from the
factory. You can reinstall using either your hard drive or the backup
you have created.
• Other applications - If you need to reinstall software that did not
come pre-installed on your computer, you need to follow that
software’s installation instructions.

C ONNECTING TO THE INTERNET
This chapter includes basic information on types of connections, and
getting connected to the Internet. For detailed information, please
refer to Network connections on page 53.
Connecting with a cable
Built-in network feature
The built-in network feature makes it easy for you to connect your
computer to the Internet using a cable.
But first, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) -- usually a phone or cable
company -- will have to go to your home or office to set up Internet
service. The ISP will install a small box, called a router, that will allow
you to connect to the Internet.
Once your router is set up, all you have to do is plug one end of a
network cable into the network port on your computer, and the other
end into a port on your router. (Refer to the image below.) Then, you'll
be ready to get online.

You can also charge devices such as tablets, smartphones, or other
devices through a USB port. Some USB 3.0 ports support charging
devices when the computer is in Hibernate or turned off. Additionally,
you can use a USB hub to connect multiple devices to a single USB
port.
Note
Two USB standards are currently available on Acer computers: USB 2.0
(High-speed USB) and USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed USB). USB 2.0 ports on Acer
computers have a black tongue in the port, while USB 3.0 ports have a blue
tongue. For best performance, USB 3.0 devices should always be plugged
into USB 3.0 ports. Consult your device’s documentation to see which
standard it supports.
Important
When removing a USB storage device, you should right-click on the
USB icon in the Windows task bar and select "Eject <device>" to tell the
operating system to stop using the device before removing it. Failure to

Internet and online security - 2
I NTERNET AND ONLINE SECURITY
First steps on the net
Protecting your computer
It is vital to protect your computer from viruses and attacks over the
Internet (see Security on page 6). A comprehensive Internet security
program is offered when you first start your computer. You should
activate this protection as soon as possible, certainly before you
connect to the Internet.
Choose an Internet Service Provider
Using the Internet has become a natural part of daily
computing. Just a few simple steps can connect you to
a vast collection of knowledge and communication
tools. To accomplish these steps you should first
select an Internet Service Provider (ISP), which
supplies the connection between your computer and
the Internet. You should research the ISPs available in
your region, not forgetting to talk to friends and family about their
experiences or to check reviews and consumer reports. The ISP you
select will provide instructions on how to connect to the Internet (you
may need additional software or a special ‘box’ that connects to your
phone line).
Connection types
Depending on your computer model, your location and your
communication needs, you have several ways to connect to the
Internet.
Dial-up
Some computers include a telephone dial-up (‘modem’) connector.
This allows you to connect to the Internet using your telephone line.
With a dial-up connection, you cannot use the modem and the
telephone simultaneously on a single phone line. This type of
connection is recommended only if you have limited use of the
7 - Internet and online security
Spyware is sometimes used by unscrupulous companies to monitor
and track the sites you visit on the Internet so as to determine your
web-surfing habits and display targeted pop-up ads on your screen.
However, some kinds of spyware go beyond simple tracking and
actually monitor keystrokes and capture passwords, posing a serious
security risk.
What is malware?
Malicious software, also known as malware, is software designed to
deliberately harm your computer. For example, viruses, worms, and
Trojan horses are malicious software. To help protect your computer
against malware, make sure it is using up-to-date antivirus and anti-
malware software.
What is a personal firewall?
A personal firewall is a software program designed to prevent
unauthorized access to or from a private network. It acts as a shield to
protect your Internet connection from unwanted connections, some of
which may attempt to take control of your computer to install or re-
distribute viruses or malicious programs. Each connection to your
computer is monitored - programs that attempt to receive information
without your permission are detected and the firewall will display an
alert. You can then decide if you will allow the connection, if the
connection is to a program you are currently using then normally you
would allow it (i.e. a game connecting to a multi-player server or an
encyclopaedia making a content update).
How to protect your computer
Cybercrime prevention can be straight-forward - when armed with a
little technical advice and common sense, many attacks can be
avoided. In general, online criminals are trying to make their money as
quickly and easily as possible. The more difficult you make their job,
the more likely they are to leave you alone and move on to an easier
target. The tips below provide basic information on how you can
prevent online fraud.
Keep your computer current with the latest patches and updates
One of the best ways to keep attackers away from your computer is to
apply patches and other software fixes when they become available.
Internet and online security - 8
By regularly updating your computer, you block attackers from being
able to take advantage of software flaws (vulnerabilities) that they
could otherwise use to break into your system.
While keeping your computer up-to-date will not protect you from all
attacks, it makes it much more difficult for hackers to gain access to
your system, blocks many basic and automated attacks completely,
and might be enough to discourage less-determined attackers, so
they will give up and look for a more vulnerable computer elsewhere.
More recent versions of Microsoft Windows and other popular
software can be configured to download and apply updates
automatically so that you do not have to remember to check for the
latest software. Taking advantage of auto-update features in your
software is a great start toward keeping yourself safe online.
Protect your computer with security software
Several types of security software are necessary for basic online
security. Security software essentials include firewall and antivirus
programs. A firewall is usually your computer's first line of defense-it
controls who and what can communicate with your computer online.
You could think of a firewall as a sort of "policeman" that watches all
the data attempting to flow in and out of your computer on the
Internet, allowing communications that it knows are safe and blocking
"bad" traffic such as attacks from ever reaching your computer.
The next line of defense many times is your antivirus software, which
monitors all online activities such as email messages and Web
browsing and protects an individual from viruses, worms, Trojan horse
and other types of malicious programs. Your antivirus and
antispyware software should be configured to update itself, and it
should do so every time you connect to the Internet.
Integrated security suites such as McAfee Internet Security Suite,
which combine firewall, antivirus, antispyware with other features such
as antispam and parental controls, have become popular as they offer
all the security software needed for online protection in a single
package. Many people find using a comprehensive security suite an
attractive alternative to installing, configuring and updating several
different types of security software.
