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:

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.
