If you’re a user of a Lenovo computer and you are concerned about that evil adware that Lenovo themselves installed, don’t worry. Microsoft has your back.
You read that correctly. Microsoft is coming to the rescue of Lenovo users. In its latest update to Windows Defender, Microsoft has removed Superfish’s certificate entirely, which Microsoft believes will kill the program’s ability to run on Windows. That’s not a guarantee as the tech website Neowin will explain if you click here, but it’s better than nothing.
If you run Windows 7, 8, or 8.1, you have Windows Defender. Make sure you update it and use it to make your Lenovo system safer to make up for the fact that Lenovo made it horribly unsafe.
