Check your certificate store

[StuartR]

There's been a lot of publicity recently for Lenovo and Superfish, but there are many other applications out there that have used the same technique to completely take over your computer's ability to connect securely to sites like your bank.

Please follow the instructions in this post to see if you have any of the suspect certificates installed. In summary, you should check the Trusted Root Certificate store on every computer for certificates from any of the following.

• Sendori
• Purelead
• Rocket Tab
• Super Fish
• Lookthisup
• Pando
• Wajam
• WajaNEnhance
• DO_NOT_TRUSTFiddler_root (Fiddler is a legitimate developer tool but malware has hijacked their cert)
• System Alerts, LLC
• CE_UmbrellaCert

Thanks, Stuart!

Thanks, Stuart!!

I read the HTG page and followed the instructions. Fortunately, none of the crapware appeared.

It is good to know how to check on certificates, something I didn't know before reading your post.

Thanks, again!!!

Fortunately, none of those mentioned was present on my PC...

Yes it is. Comforting to know your OS is clean of those things.
