Understanding Lenovo Superfish Adware


Over the last 2 weeks, I had to explain to my superiors and clients and friends what Superfish is.Here's a clear cut definition of Superfish:

Superfish adware installed on some Lenovo PCs install a non-unique trusted root certification authority (CA) certificate, allowing an attacker to spoof HTTPS traffic.

What the heck does that mean???

Add Extra Layer of Protection to your Windows System

I have been testing and using the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) from Microsoft for quite some time now.

It is a great way to keep yourself protected from - the unknown and yet to be discovered flaws in Windows, and Windows applications... designed to help prevent hackers from gaining access to your system.

GodMode for Windows 8 / 7


1.

Open Windows Explorer and create a new folder

Create the folder anywhere. For ease of use, I created mine in the Root directory/folder.

NOTE: Creating the folder on the Desktop might or might not work. The feedback seems to vary, so you'll just have to experiment with it.
2.

Rename the folder by pasting the name below exactly as it appears:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
NOTE: You can name it whatever you want (within reason), I just use "GodMode" in this example.
3.

Enjoy!

Start enjoy your all-in-one folder to control virtually every aspect of Windows 8/7. I'm still having fun going through and seeing all the stuff I didn't know was in Windows 8!
