Now, it seems that it is only up to you and no one else to keep your computer safe, as you can’t even trust your computer manufacturer. Even worse, after the computer manufacturer company discontinued its partnership, there are still a lot of PCs in homes running the software with the risk of people having their data bridged. It really feels that we don’t even have a chance to make mistakes on the internet to get our system infected, as new computers already come infected from factory.Īlthough, Lenovo admitted back in January that included a Superfish software on every consumer PC and it has already discontinued the program, it doesn’t make it right. The fact of the matter is that the piece of software having a vulnerability is not much of an issue as much as companies, like Lenovo, can agree on selling computers with adware preinstalled on new devices. The software owned by the company Superfish has a backdoor that could allow hackers to gain access to user’s secure browsing data, which lets third-party entities to sniff passwords, bank information, and many other private data at any time. Recently a vulnerability was discovered on an adware software that Lenovo installs on every new computer the company ships.
