    "I don't believe that for a second."

    I do some Google work. I've got just a high-school diploma and a teensy bit of college under my belt.

    I had to go through three face-to-face vetting interviews.

    Sadly my section is getting shut down roughly mid-year this year, so unless I get moved elsewhere, I'm going to be back to designing lighting and hydro systems.

    "Superfish will be removed from Program Files and Program Data directories, files in user directory will stay intact for the privacy reason. Registry entry and root certificate will remain as well."

    Which means we can crack that shit and pwn any computer that even had the software 'removed.'

    Oh, and then issuing certificates under the names of other corporations? I do believe that is identity theft, at the bare minimum.

    Lenovo should be hit in the courts hard over this.

    Well, you're forgiven since I have the common sense to segregate everything down to Ring 0 for security, but next time, do practice some due diligence - run your shit through an unprotected VM to see if it fucks things up before you subject other people to it. I've been doing that since I joined /., and pretty much anyone with any common sense with regards to today's technology should be doing the same, given every other site's lack of control on their ads. Do it on both sides - the site you're submitting from and the site you're submitting to.

    Well, since you're too stupid to Google search "Rogue Star Gamergate" I guess it's not worth even telling you exactly what happened. You're too lazy to do the work yourself, you're likely to lazy to read the evidence for yourself without someone having to explain it to you.

    So you lack both critical thought and motivation - it's not worth telling you SHIT.

    Install the program yourself, asshole. Since you won't, you're obviously scared that you'll find out just how WRONG you are.

    So yes, HOSTS files are useless. Note how you CONVENIENTLY avoid the fact I can list stuff that bypasses HOSTS (like Opera) without any issues, making your HOSTS file pointless and useless in the first place. Let alone all the attacks that target (and bypass) HOSTS all day.

    But no comment towards that, eh loser? Given proof, you ignore it and keep attacking on your other futile points.

    You're so wrong. You're a running joke at google. Whenever the Helpouts service has a minor issue, we say "It's been APK'd."

    Easy - we had this conversation in the tech room on Camfrog, where actual tech people can talk without idiots like you spamming your useles solutions all over the place. Guess what? When you ingrain parts of the service so every part has contact capability with ad networks, if you block them all, you block Camfrog from working in its entirety.

    Your HOSTS file is useless. All that whitespace taking up room and making websites unusable. Can be effectively and easily bypassed, subject to DNS poisoning, modern browsers won't pay attention to it (Opera, for example) unless you root your phone you can't access HOSTS, etc.

    Guess what works far better than a HOSTS file?

    Being competent enough to run your own fucking DNS server.
