A serious security flaw in Lenovo's Solution Center support tool has been discovered which would allow an attacker to execute code with system privileges, allowing access to the whole system. The LSC... Lenovo under the spotlight again for vulnerability in pre-installed software
But tbh, considering the amount of bloat you get on pretty much all laptops these days, the first action anyone with half a clue should do is a clean install of Windows. And then u install the drivers and nothing more (except your own usual programs of course).
Usually good idea, but lenovo comes as many with recovery partition with preinstalled OS. That's additional value for users. Sometimes it is pita to get your clean OS into that partition.
Got my laptop about 7 years back, was a single core 2GB RAM HP running Vista Basic, powered it up for the first time, and about 15 mins later it was still completely unusable due to the amount of bloat and crapware pre-installed Wiped it, put a pre-release Win 7 on it, perfect, 100x better Still going strong today, 10 Pro, with an upgraded DualCore CPU, only thing wrong with it is the main enter key stopped working a few months back, and the battery is dead Actually, the battery was dismantled, dead cells thrown, good cells charged and used in a torch (18650 cells)
