    Computer maker Lenovo has been forced to remove hidden adware that it was shipping on its laptops and PCs after users expressed anger.

    The adware - dubbed Superfish - was potentially compromising their security, said experts.

    The hidden software was also injecting adverts on to browsers using techniques more akin to malware, they added.

    Lenovo faces questions about why and for how long it was pre-installed on machines - and what data was collected.
