- Lenovo stopped preloading the software in January. My X1C was ordered on Feb 4th, and shipped Feb 9. I believe that my machine had this malware installed when I received it. On firefox, websites that would not normally have many ads, were filled with ads to the point where I couldn't use the sites. I am unable to prove my claims, as I formatted the HD and installed Linux to get rid of all the obvious bloat-ware. I really enjoy the laptop. But if I was less tech savvy and unable to format/installLinux I would probably have returned the machine (the ads were really really intrusive)
