Thanks, Filippo Valsorda! Lastpass also tossed up a website that can check for Superfish.Įven if you haven’t seen weird ads pop up in your browsing, you should check and see if Superfish is installed on your Lenovo PC. Update: Browsing to this website will quickly let you know if you have Superfish installed. Superfish injected ads in action on the Apple website. The adware intrinsic to Superfish is designed to inject visual price-comparison ads into the web pages you visit, in a “Visual Search results” section “powered by VisualDiscovery.” If you see that, you’re affected (though maybe “infected” is the better word to use). It should be easy to discover if your PC came with Superfish preloaded. How do I know if my Lenovo PC has Superfish preinstalled?
