Disgruntled Lenovo customers unhappy at the way it covertly installed the Superfish adware onto their computers are ready to drag the firm to court as part of a class action suit.
A proposed suit was filed at the end of last week against both Lenovo and Superfish with the two accused of “fraudulent” business practices and of opening Lenovo PCs up to malicious attacks and malware by preloading the adware.
One of the plaintiffs in the case is Jessica Bennett who claims her laptop was damaged as a result of the adware (called “spyware” in her document) before accusing Lenovo and Superfish of an invasion of privacy as well as making money off her browsing habits.
