[QUOTE="Lars Erickson, post: 475606, member: 49035"] The articles you pointed me to are definitely interesting. It seems that this Superfish malware is different than many because it produces its own certificate. Still, none of the scans on my PC have produced any evidence of Superfish. The fiasco it caused was in early 2015, a year + from when I bought mine (early Jan. 2016). It seems entirely possible that Lenovo is allowing/promoting a different type of infection now (Trovi) that is spelled out in their terms of agreement and cannot be rejected. Hell, we can't even [U]find[/U] it on my PC! So, bottomline, it looks like you can't help me with this Trovi problem. Please don't take this as I'm angry because I appreciate everything you have given me in the attempt to track this stuff down. Still, I am going to copy you with the screenshots from the Lenovo agreement that refer to Trovi. Perhaps you can interpret it in a different way, other than seeing some decidedly underhanded motives behind it all. [/QUOTE]
