How to remove the Superfish malware: What Lenovo doesn’t tell you

If you have a Lenovo system that includes the Superfish malware, you’ll want to remove it. Blowing away your system and reinstalling Windows is one way to do this, but while it’s a relatively straightforward process, it’s a time-consuming one. Using Lenovo’s own restore image won’t work, because that will probably reinstate Superfish anyway. Performing a clean install from Windows media will work, but you’ll have to reinstall all your software and restore all your data from backup to do the job fully.
