@Scott: Dude, all Lenovo laptops for business look like they15 years old! It maybe my glasses, but that looks like an X230 (bottom right corner of screen) which means it came out about 3 years ago and sold for 2 years.
You should've included a stock photo of an Ideapad, Thinkpads are their corporate line that they actually charge enough to make a profit on rather than what they do with the consumer line, which is pricing them at a loss then getting paid a few dollars per program to lead them with bloatware. Unless the spyware is now on Thinkpads too, that would be truly scary, but unless there's evidence otherwise you've got the wrong stock photo.
This is a stupid article. All companies track customer behavior. This very website does to improve customer experience. Apple and Samsung do it too. This is not a big deal. This article is just seeking to make this an issue when it's not.
How do you uninstall this program/ erase the registry lines if it does not show up in the Programs and Features page of Control Panel? I have the folder in Program Files (x86)... will deleting the folder do? or does it get reinstalled next time around? Like zombie re-awoken from the grave?
