Lenovo is getting sued due to Superfish Adware

Lenovo is getting sued because of the controversial Superfish adware which is preinstalled in some of their devices. Lenovo and the developers of Superfish are now facing court trials.

Superfish’s self signed certificate can also be used for malicious activities, resulting in the computer being vulnerable to attacks.

Lenovo has already released a tool for the removal of Superfish. Jessica Bennett who is an editor purchased a convertible Yoga 2 device.
