WHAT THIS PACKAGE DOES

The package provides an autonomic feature that utilizes the unused
computing power on your system to perform a variety of maintenance
tasks. You can select the tasks you want the Maintenance Manager to
perform, and configure it to keep these tasks up-to-date without
affecting the system performance when you are using the computer.

Performing these maintenance tasks on a regular basis helps to ensure
that your computer operates at peak performance. The Maintenance
Manager tasks improve performance by increasing your available hard
drive space, making more memory space available, increasing processing
speed, and checking for viruses.

The tasks available through the Maintenance Manager program include:

- Symantec AntiVirus scan
- Norton AntiVirus scan
- Disk Defragment operation
- Disk Cleanup operation
- Disk Backup operation
- ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery backup operation

The Maintenance Manager program enables you to run tasks in whisper
mode, which automatically limits the resources used to run the selected
maintenance tasks based upon the level of resources you designate for
the Maintenance Manager and the current level of available resources on
the computer. The whisper mode feature maximizes the performance of the
selected tasks while working to minimize the impact on the performance
of other applications.
