After the scandal that broke out with the discovery of Superfish the Lenovo promises to stop installing crapware on the systems it markets.
Crapware, also known as Bloatware or Junkware, is used by manufacturers hardware on their devices. Of course they do it for extra profits from the ads shown to the buyer of the product.
So the Lenovo regretfully offers all customers who had Superfish on their computer (all those who bought the company's PC between September last year and January 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 start immediately, and from the moment they are released Windows 10 στα προϊόντα μας, θα εγκαθιστούμε μόνο το λειτουργικό system and related software, meaning software required for hardware (for example, when there is some unique hardware in our devices, such as a 3D camera), security software and Lenovo apps,” the company said.
"This should eliminate any adware and bloatware."
It remains to be seen if all this will become deeds πρά
