came across this forum and thought maybe I should ask if anyone else had similar experiences with acemagic, as in article describes:

(maybe malware isn't the correct term, but the person ordered two different acemagic pcs and both had sketchy software preinstalled)

"After going into Chrome settings, I confirmed that "navwithus" was once again listed as the search engine and that opening a new tab brought up "UpSearches.""

"As I sat there wondering what other suspect settings and software were on AceMagic mini PCs, a notice popped up on my screen telling me that Windows Defender Antivirus had found suspicious software on the AceMagic S1. But before I could click on the popup to learn more, the system changed and told me all was fine. "

I happen to know about this. If you want to know the reason, you can send me a private message.

I just saw this announcement by acemagic, seems like in response to some machines having sketchy software preinstalled on machines
