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.

Lenovo slapped with lawsuit over dangerous Superfish adware | PCWorld

A proposed class-action suit was filed late last week against Lenovo and Superfish, which charges both companies with “fraudulent” business practices and of making Lenovo PCs vulnerable to malware and malicious attacks by pre-loading the adware.

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.
