Lenovo’s SuperFish Removal Tool on GitHub – lenovo-inc/superfishremoval · GitHub

SuperFish was pre-installed on a limited group of Lenovo branded notebooks beginning September, 2014. Lenovo recommends removing SuperFish and the SuperFish certificates from all systems.

This utility will completely analyze your system for this problem and remove the SuperFish application, associated registry entries, files and security certificates, if needed.

Plaintiff Jessica Bennett said her laptop was damaged as a result of Superfish, which was called “spyware” in court documents. She also accused Lenovo and Superfish of invading her privacy and making money by studying her Internet browsing habits.
