Lenovo was caught 3 times installing spyware on their machines. I don’t know why people forgive that

  Because any self-respecting developer will reformat and reinstall Windows or ideally Linux and problem solved, no spyware.

    Not when they’re doing it at bios level, formatting is useless.

      Yep, here's a nice summary of that situation that someone made on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/SuggestALaptop/comments/3gxoh9/psa_lenovo_rootkits_and_superfish/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SuggestALaptop/comments/3gxoh9/psa_...

      That BIOS level requires the operating system to execute certain ACPI table as a Windows executable.
