Can anyone tell me where to shove a stake thru this malware?

Hi,

I just did a clean reformat using lenovo onekey recovery on my s10 netbook. I reformated it to factory default. I immediately uninstalled norton. I then installed opera , ccleaner and MBAM. After that I ran a quick MBAM scan.

Hi,

The two references mbam found appear to be false positives. However, deleting what it found won't break anything at all since it's only an icon and a button set in your IE/explorer pointing to lenovo.com.

In either way, a next update will fix these false positives.

Thanks a lot ! I'll be waiting for that next update to test if it still comes out.

Hi,

The update is already available, so please update and let me know if it's still detecting above (it shouldn't)
