Superfish really creeped me out last November when I got a new Lenovo laptop. I first noticed it when using Firefox with NoScript. A script from best-deals-products.com was being blocked on every site that I went to (I never unblocked it so I can't confirm the statement about Firefox not being affected). It took me a while searching around to figure out it was the Superfish program. Rather than uninstall the program, I nuked the disk and installed the vanilla Windows from Microsoft. I bought the Lenovo because I was really annoyed with Apple when my MBP died just after the 3 years of AppleCare I payed for expired on my 2011 model (notorious for failing: https://mbp2011.org/ https://mbp2011.org/, I guess I can't win with laptop vendors). It was my first time working with OEM Windows in a while (laptop before the MBP was a Dell in 2005) and I was surprised at how much more bloatware vendors thought they could stuff into a new laptop compared to the past. Next time I guess I will either go back to Apple or get something that comes with Linux installed just to avoid the Windows bloatware.
