Google "Superfish", you'll see plenty of concern about a potential serious security breach.
I just got a Lenova Z710 earlier this month, and it had some nasty crapware. One was supposed to help keep all your drivers up to date, but once you started your browser, it just continued to direct you to a page for the service registration.
I uninstalled the program, rebooted, and there was still part of it hanging around Chrome. I had to uninstall Chrome and then reinstall.
I followed JerseySaab's article link, and with a little more Googling it appears that my laptop never included Superfish. Whew
