I recently bought a lenovo laptop. It came with a **** load of bloatware but the worst bloatware was a program called superfish. It's a ****ing type of adware ffs. My laptop started ****ing up and would no longer connect to the internet.
A quick google search of "superfish lenovo" and you'll find loads of similar stories.
So delete this bs from your laptop if you get it ok? This was just a heads up.
It's unbelieveble that companies would pre-install adware. I read somewhere that this adware gives lenovo some commission or something. ****ing ridiculous.
That's the last time I'm buying a lenovo laptop. I'm not an air-head. **** lenovo.
Peace out.

Pretty normal for laptop makers to stuff their laptops full of bloatware.
Just uninstall them all.

Is there some software that will help remove it? From what I've read this installed adware pops up ads and stuff and when if you buy from that ad Lenovo get a share of the sale.
Very sneaky. By the way my laptop isn't new I just bought it second hand if that helps..

Yeah but how do you actually remove this from your laptop? I've tried to uninstall it 3 times but every time I restart my laptop this adware is still on it.

If that doesn't work then use Google to find what else you can do.

When I have shiteware pre-installed on a computer, I just do a wipe (as facilitated by Windows 10) which pretty much always takes all that guff with it.
When I was a student and thus eligable for free copies of Windows, I used to take the machine home and do a completely clean install from images straight from Microsoft, even going so far as to remove recovery partitions.

Yup. Step one on buying any pre-built PC: wipe it and reinstall the operating system. Always.
