1. I connect to https://encrypted.google.com/ on Firefox and the certificate says it is verified by SuperFish.

2. Also, my broswer.newtab.url was changed to some URL (http://homepage-web.com/?s=lenovo&m=tab) instead of the default about:newtab

Steps to remove VisualDiscovery / Superfish

1. Home menu, search for Administrator tools 2. Open services 3. Find the VisualDiscovery service. Stop the service. Right click properties. Set "Startup type" to Disabled

4. Start -> Control panel 5. Add/ remove programs 6. Find Superfish and uninstall

From what I understand, you need to go one further and spelunk through your local machine certificate stores and remove any Superfish certificates. They are not uninstalled.
