    Exclamation Test your PC for the Superfish vulnerability

    Security researchers have discovered a vulnerability in a piece of adware called Superfish that makes your computer vulnerable to all kinds of attacks. Superfish ships preloaded on many Lenovo computers, but can also be installed on any machine. Here's what's going on and how to test if you're infected.

    If you purchased a Lenovo computer between September 2014 and January 2015, you should definitely run this test.
