Re: Eeek
@jimC the problem was that the firmware downloaded and installed the malware on windoze without notification, so lenovo+windoze+internet connection means you got the malware automatically before you could login.
No matter how many times you then deleted it once you got control of the machine it would just download it again on reboot even if you installed a clean locked down windoze.
It is good that the US is starting to look at the little wheezes that hardware and software vendors have been getting up to.
Personally I would say that there are far to many breaches of trust with PCs and the whole "vendors have the right to continue making money off their customers forever" idea has needed a slap down for decades
