#Windows #Defender - Supposing you were worried that Superfish was going to ruin your
Lenovo computer-loving life, there's good news this afternoon. Windows
Defender version 1.193.444.0 has been pushed. This version of Windows
Defender does two things. First, it detects and removes Superfish
entirely. Second, it detects and removes all system certifications
affected by Superfish. This means Superfish is gone, erased, and will
have left the building in a way that should make it seem like this was
all a bad dream. It's time to kick Superfish directly out the door.
This update has a segment filed under category: Potentially Unwanted
Software. Described within is the idea that "this program has
potentially unwanted behavior." The recommended action within: "remove
this software immediately." If you've been following along with the Superfish news over the past
couple of days, you know that it's a bit of software built-in with
Lenovo laptops sold in the last quarter of the year 2014. This software
goes by the name Superfish and it essentially works like Adware, more or
less.
Microsoft creating an update to their Windows Defender software this
quick shows some relatively unprecedented quickness in responsiveness,
and they do deserve some applause for that. Make it so - destroy it! Have a peek at the timeline below to catch up on Superfish. And if you
have a Lenovo notebook sold within the last several months - or the last
couple of months of 2014 - run Windows Defender right this minute.
