    You have a Lenovo computer ? So make verification more: run (through Windows Command + R) certmgr.msc the program. Then go to the "Root Certification Authorities" and see if you have a certificate issued by, and "Superfish, Inc.". If necessary, right click and delete what not.

    I'm not surprised Lenovo is Chinese owned.

    Windows Defender now detects it for what it is and will remove it.

    I wonder if other AV vendors will follow suit?
