Suggestions
Go to https://www.ccleaner.com/
Download the FREE CCleaner.
When installing CCleaner, DO NOT ALLOW any extras - included package such as Google Chrome or some anti-virus application, to also install.
You only want CCleaner.
So, when installing CCleaner, read each window (that you can) that presents info re the installing process.
You do not need CCleaner Pro, nor a “cloud” feature/connection.
CCleaner is valuable for one objective: cleaning cache files and removing run-of-the-mill cookies.

Run CCleaner at least once, every day that you use your Lenovo ThinkPad. Then restart your computer.
That’s what I think this is. . . an obscure vulnerability that could possibly be a risk. They say nothing about "exploits."
Kinda what I figured. It’s also FUD Season, especially that part about Apple’s M1 chips perhaps being more vulnerable. Apple is soon to announce new iMac and other hardware which is always preceded by a FUD Season.
What are they going to tell us to buy... they seem to say this will attack everything that uses a browser including probably a Commodore Vic 20...
Uh... ones that render HTML? They aren’t too keen on providing little niggling details such as what it does, how, on what browsers, etc. that’s why I’m not too worried... I think it’s a vulnerability without much specificity...
Well this is spooky!
Thanks, Swordmaker!
