The story isn't that malware is installed, the story is that there's an SSL MITM + Javascript injection.<p>Maybe the link should be changed? <a href="http://www.myce.com/news/lenovo-laptops-come-with-preinstalled-advertisement-injecting-adware-74290/" rel="nofollow">http://www.myce.com/news/lenovo-laptops-come-with-preinstall...</a> but even this story doesn't have enough info.<p>Please, if you have this malware export the cert and post it. This has the potential to be really dangerous.
I think that some Lenova laptops are available directly from Microsoft as signature editions, that is, with no crapware. I recently bought an HP signature edition laptop and it was great to have nothing but Windows on it.
