"Superfish" - check if your computer is infected

"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

Tip: ALWAYS follow the steps when installing a program, be careful not to "drag" another program.

Look at historical objects in three dimensions

By Administrator
Google has launched a new Cultural Institute service where you can view some 3-dimensional historical objects on your computer in your favorite web browser. The items are detailed and you can enlarge them to see even the smallest parts. Of course, they are not perfect, there are some irregularities somewhere, but they were not noticed.
