Lenovo apparently has a proprietary software called Lenovo Service Engine that will find it's way back on your computer even after doing a clean wipe and re-installing windows 7, 8 or 10. The reason for this is certain Lenovo machines have firmware that automatically downloads and then installs its software without user consent. So blowing away a hard drive partition and reformatting won't help to successfully get rid of the unwanted program.
Lenovo has since created a patch that resolves this issue and has come out with a public statement addressing this concern to reassure costumers that all PCs and laptops released after June come with a BIOS that is free from the offending code.
