After the scandal that broke out with the discovery of Superfish the Lenovo promises to stop her installation crapware on the systems on the market.
Crapware, also known as Bloatware or Junkware, is used by hardware manufacturers on their devices. Of course, they do so for extra profits from the ads being displayed to the buyer of the product.
So the Lenovo regretful offers to all customers who had Superfish on computer τους (όλοι όσοι αγόρασαν PC της εταιρείας από το Σεπτέμβριο του περασμένου έτους μέχρι και τον Ιανουάριο του 2015) μια δωρεάν συνδρομή έξι μηνών του σαρωτή ασφαλείας McAfee Livesafe (ή έξι μήνες δωρεάν επιπλέον αν κάποιος το έχει ήδη).
In addition to offering for its victims, Lenovo has committed itself to the following:
"We're starting right away, and once Windows 10 is released on our products, we'll be installing only the operating system and related software, that is, the software required for the hardware (for example, when there is some unique hardware in our devices, such as a 3D camera), Lenovo's security software and apps," the company said.
"This should eliminate any adware and bloatware."
It remains to be seen if all this will become deeds πρά
