Dell installs self-signed root certificates on PCs with private key included

Remember the whole Lenovo Superfish debacle, where Lenovo decided to make all Internet encryption insecure so that they could show you some extra ads? Well, Dell has now done that, too, though their explanation is that it is there to make it easier for their tech support people to do stuff.
Dell says they're sorry now that they got caught, and has given instructions on how to remove the malicious certificate. But that shouldn't be necessary. What's really astonishing is that Dell would do so even after Lenovo got busted for doing the same thing earlier this year.

I remember when I first got online. My first thought: Just wait until the govt gets hold of this. I expected we would all be monitored and there would be location/recording devices in most computers. Like everyone Im now online but make it difficult for them. That means no Facebook, Twitter, or other media sites that you aid in keep tabs on you. Give false info online as much as possible. Of course, I release this is at most a modicum of security but such is the world we live in. Fahrenheit 451 is almost here. My little way of fighting back.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
