Glad I instantly wiped mine and installed Linux. Lenovo's statement:We have thoroughly investigated this technology and do not find any evidence to substantiate security concerns.
Yes, it's not the adware that's the problem, but the software for spying on all of your supposedly secure connections. They can read all your banking information, your passwords, etc. And the private key for their certificate is stored so insecurely that hackers have already harvested it and can use it to spoof trusted sites for their own phishing purposes.
