  Funny, this comment started with a lot of upvotes, and since this morning, massive downvote. I wonder why... Lenovo PR in the place?

    I attempted to start a conversation here about ways to detect whether visitors to your own site are infected with the Superfish malware, and I was downvoted to the very bottom of the page. Another person had discovered a method to automatically disable Superfish by placing a special <meta> tag on your page; within two hours of posting his discovery, Lenovo silently removed the disable ability: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9076788 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9076788 Deliberately preventing people from disabling Superfish doesn't seem like something a company "working to wipe Superfish app off of PCs" would do. I don't believe a single word uttered by these snakes.

      Well, they have no clue how to handle this. I just upvoted your other comment, and I suggest that anyone reading this does the same for it, my comment and chinathrow comment above. All three seem to have been bashed, and even if this might be a legit downvoting, I tend to think this is a bit much of a coincidence - let's show them it won't work.
