Lenovo and Superfish? Don't panic, you may not be affected

Superfish, an ill-conceived piece of software that breaks security on Microsoft Windows computers was shipped on some computers made by Lenovo. This has a lot of people worried, but in some cases without reason. In a well-intentioned rush to help consumers — the affected Lenovo machines are generally consumer models, Thinkpads were not affected, see list below — some people have put up web pages to detect Superfish. Several media outlets are directing people to these pages. Unfortunately, some of these pages may say that you have a Superfish problem when you do not.
