Lenovo is now rushing to put out the fires; they disclosed yesterday that they’d turned off everything SuperFish-related on the server side back in January — which, while a good step, doesn’t fix the problem of the ugly security flaws lurking in the laptops.
For that, Lenovo has just released a set of automated removal tools, which they pledge will “ensure complete removal of Superfish and Certificates for all major browsers.”
They’ve also published the removal tool’s source code for scrutiny, and for those who would like to compile the tool themselves.
And if that still sketches you out? They’re also supplying a step-by-step for how to remove SuperFish manually on the same page.
