Talk about pre-loaded crapware on PCs for users to struggle with, this Superfish takes the cake! The net is all a buzz with this latest crapware by Chinese PC company Lenovo.This is pretty serious stuff:
Also on Friday, the US Department of Homeland Security warned that the Superfish software introduces a "critical vulnerability," and it issued its own instructions for removing the spyware from Lenovo computers.
Superfish said Friday that it is working with Microsoft and Lenovo on a fix, and minimized concerns by the government and security researchers.
Amazing what PC companies are up to.
