Superfish
Does WebRoot scan for and remove Superfish? I have a Lenovo and, wile I do not believe it is residing on my laptop I would like to be sure.

We should - I'm double-checking with our threat researchers to make sure. Here's how to check and see if you have it:
To find out if you’re affected, locate Windows’ list of trusted certificates by opening up the Control Panel and searching for “certificates”. This will bring up Administrative Tools and a “manage computer certificates” option. Click on the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities” option and then “Certificates”. This will bring up a list of certificates. If you see one with Superfish Inc attached to it, you may be vulnerable.
