Lenovo has been caught installing malicious software on their machines, dubbed Superfish.  It's a Man-in-the-Middle attack on your secure connections.  Story: http://arstechnica.com/securit.....s-https-connections/

If you have Superfish, removal instructions are here: http://stackoverflow.com/quest.....te/28607630#28607630

Lenovo's response: "Don't worry about it.  It's safe."

Security experts: "That is a bald-faced lie!"

This is why I install a fresh operating system in any computer I buy.  You never know what evil lurks within.

Yet another Lenovo massive security risk, due to their bloatware.  http://gizmodo.com/theres-another-massive-security-risk-in-lenovos-compute-1702491867
