35345dfgd··on Lenovo to pay $7.3M for installing adware in laptops
Wasn't aware of the LSE issue on enterprise models! This is a feature that would get enterprises angry if it messes with the OS by injecting bins full of vulnerabilities from BIOS. Gross!

No enterprise is using the base windows image that came from Lenovo with the superfish malware. They all build their own standard operating environment image that would not include the Lenovo bloatware. I would be surprised if Lenovo enterprises even realized they were shipping this way and have no reason to react negatively. Their competitors also live in glass houses and so cannot throw stones.
