"Superfish" - check if your computer is infected

"Superfish" is an adware program with a major security flaw, which was found pre-installed on some Lenovo laptops. However, it's not just the users of these computers who are at risk, this program is "running" through the installation of other programs, so many other Windows computers are also at risk.

You can find more details about "Superfish" here, and on the Lenovo website you can see exactly which models are infected -  Link.

However, it is a good idea to check if your computer is also infected. It's easy, just open this link -  https://lastpass.com/superfish/

This link also contains instructions on how to remove the threat, if any, and here is a shorter version:

  1. Open Start, type in the search "certmgr.msc" (without quotes), and press Enter
  2. Click on „Trusted Root Certification Authorities“ and go on „Certificates“
  3. Search for "Superfish Inc", right-click and select "Delete"
  4. Restart your internet browser and check that link again

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

By Administrator
What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.
