Μετά από το σκάνδαλο που ξέσπασε με την ανακάλυψη του Superfish η Lenovo υπόσχεται να σταματήσει την εγκατάσταση crapware in the systems on the market.
Crapware, also known as Bloatware or Junkware, is used by hardware manufacturers in Appliances τους. Φυσικά το κάνουν για επιπλέον κέρδη από τις advertisements shown to the buyer of the product.
So the Lenovo regretfully offers all customers who had Superfish on their computer (all those who bought her PC companyς 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, meaning hardware-required software (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
