We purchased a machine from China and it came with malware preinstalled
Hug of death probably so I cannot read the article.Anyway that's the reason why I don't buy Chinese crap anymore. I'm not saying that I don't buy anything made in China, almost everything is made in China, but everyone should avoid Chinese crapware.If something doesn't match the description send it back, if you find random executables that you cannot identify send it back, if you are asked to register on some weird Chinese website send it back, if you are asked to download a sketchy application with a Chinese readme send it back, etc...After a while you'll notice you are sending everything back.And it is not only Aliexpress or other Chinese marketplaces or websites, Amazon is full of Chinese crapware just the same.edit: read the article from archive, well it just confirms to me what I wrote earlier.
