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:
- 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.


If this package has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing)
this package will fix problems, add new functions, or expand
