Mark Dain I fully expect @eric to write up a blog post about this fiasco. And never buy a Lenovo product again.

Eric There's a lot of things I should write about, I shouldn't really be blaming Lenovo yet - but they seem the culprit. I thought having McAffy pre-installed was bad enough lol. I don't like writing stuff in anger, I'll just do this and move on to more enjoyable things. There's a funky SVG bendy text project which needs some finalizing.

Mark Dain It's strange they bundled an anti-virus that didn't find the malware. Maybe you installed something? I know if you search VLC, there's some dodgy links that come first before the legit one. Honest mistake we've all made.
