After reading the news article "Superfish: how do you know if your computer is affected? And how do you get rid of it?" (http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/superfish-how-do-you-know-if-your-computer-is-affected-and-how-do-you-get-rid-of-it-10059987.html) by Andrew Griffin, published in The Independent on 20 February 2015, the detective team at Bradford share tips to avert computer fraud.

The article by Andrew Griffin, published in The Independent on 20 February: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/superfish-how-do-you-know-if-your-computer-is-affected-and-how-do-you-get-rid-of-it-10059987.html, describes the dangers of Superfish adware that, according to earlier reports, had been installed in Lenovo laptops. The malware enables hackers to access users' web activity and compromise the victims' privacy and security. The program can affect any computer system and not just Lenovo devices. The previous day, researchers reported that the Superfish malware inserts ads into users' web browsers and also affects the security of the laptop device. To check whether computers are affected by the program, concerned users can take the Superfish CA Test on all browsers; this test will confirm whether or not the browser is affected by the malware. The Superfish can be uninstalled easily, by navigating to "Uninstall a program," looking for "Superfish Inc VisualDiscovery" and then clicking to uninstall. The user then has to uninstall the certificates, which is a necessary step to free the computer of the adware. Wiping out the entire computer and reinstalling the operating system is the only sure-fire way to ensure Superfish is not affecting the computer's security.

Detective Reid is insistent that cases such as that of Superfish adware need the expertise and proficiency that a capable investigative firm such as Private Detectives Bradford can provide.

If your computer device has been affected, contact us at Bradford for superior computer forensic services," Reid says.
