Yes … Microsoft even changed the guidelines since Lenovo gave a good example how it shouldn’t be done.


Others can just piggy-back on the LSE and run malware undetected.


some links i pulled up quick:

Trust is earned not given, and did a hell of a job to make sure it’s lost. I don’t have the time (why should i waste time with this in the first place) nor the patience to check every Lenovo product down to the bios.


My first expierience was with a customers laptop about 3 month before Superfish hit the media. Remote location no inet access … so removing all the malware by hand took about 6 hours and a mental breakdown since some pieces just came back again and again.


I suspected a hidden system recovery partition that would reload some malware functions… don’t ask how much time was wasted all in all.
