Lenovo customers complain about the computer manufacturer preinstalling Superfish Adware on their laptops. Superfish hides in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome and injects advertisements in websites. Superfish is active in the background by default on affected systems. It’s likely Lenovo installs the adware on its laptops for months already.

Users report Superfish is installed on the Lenovo Y50, Z40, Z50, G50 and Yoga 2 Pro laptops. “Superfish – Powered by VisualSearch, as the adware’s full name is, is recognized by many antivirus scanners as malware. The adware injects advertisements on Google search results and on websites. The Google search results injected by the software are cleverly designed to fit into the search results to make them appear to look normal.

On websites the adware injects popups with similar products. The injected advertisements sometimes also interfere with the website causing pages not to render properly. The adware developers will likely receive a commission from each sale made through the advertisements and its turn paid Lenovo to be preinstalled on laptops.

The SuperFish software becomes active as soon as a brand Lenovo laptop is switched on. The process (visualdiscovery.exe) can be easily terminated from the Task Manager but can also be uninstalled from the folder with other pre- installed software. Also many malware scanners are able to detect and remove the Superfish adware.

It seems every computer sold has tons of crap ware installed. One solution is to download legal installation media and do a clean install using the OEM key that is attached to the computer.

As long as you're going to reinstall the OS, an even better solution is to abandon Windows and install Linux
There are literally hundreds of different versions of Linux available. But for most people who simply want something that's easy, full featured, dependable, reliable and fully supported, I would recommend either Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora.

Compared to Linux, Windows itself is "bloatware" and runs slower and sluggish on the same machine. And while you still have to utilize advertising & pop-up blockers in your browser (if you so choose) linux is essentially immune to stealth installation of viruses, adware and spyware onto your hard drive.
