Read this if you recently bought a Lenovo product

Basically some Lenovo products came installed with adware that can easily be cracked and thus allow others to get into your computer.

Shit like this is why I do my best to only buy a computer (and eventually other devices) if I can be given tools to nuke the whole thing and reinstall the operating system and such so it doesn't have crap on it compromising the system.
