Attorney Advertising. Keller Rohrback L.L.P. is investigating
Lenovo Group Ltd.’s (LNVGY) distribution of select Lenovo laptops
and PCs with pre-loaded adware. The adware, from a company called
Superfish, is a hidden software program that acts like malware by
compromising the computer’s security during Web browsing.

“When you buy a laptop, it’s reasonable to expect that the
computer doesn’t come prepackaged with malicious software that
makes you more vulnerable to hackers,” said Gretchen Cappio, a
partner at Keller Rohrback and one of the attorneys at the firm
representing consumers in the Sony data breach litigation.
As Ken Westin, a security analyst with software maker Tripwire,
told CNN, Lenovo “have not only betrayed their customers’ trust,
but also put them at increased risk.” Researchers have already
discovered an easy way to take advantage of the security flaws
created by the pre-installed software, putting the computer user’s
passwords and other private web browsing information at risk.
U.S. consumers who bought a Lenovo laptop or PC that include the
adware may have potential claims against the company. If you
purchased a Lenovo laptop or PC and would like discuss our
investigation, please contact attorneys Gretchen Cappio or Matthew
Preusch at (800) 776-6044 or via email at
