I don't think any Thinkpads were affected by Superfish.

Thinkpads are their business line. Some organizations (e.g. the US Government) really care about security and audit the machines before buying them. That is a big, high-budget market which Lenovo wouldn't want to piss off.

Only backdoored because of microsoft
All the superfish malware was only on the consumer lines which are called "ideapads"

superfish is long gone but w10 is still an open door, install gnu/linux to circumvent this

Despite what anyone tells you, there is already some form of backdoor in everything you use or want.
