Windows Defender kills Lenovo Message Center

This is amusing: on both of my Lenovo laptops, Microsoft Windows Defender identified the Lenovo Message Center as adware, and offered to remove it. It worked fine!

Well, it is Adware, so Defender is working.

Wikipedia - Adware or advertising-supported software is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertisements to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used.
