I have a Lenovo laptop and had the superfish root cert installed. I also have a "Nuance" trusted root certificate installed. It's a SHA1RSA certificate issued by Nuance, expiring in January 2040 (serial 9e ef 9d f5 9a...), thumbprint (51 2d 19 4d 28 64...). It says it's usable for everything. Does anyone know about this one?

Nuance makes Dragon Naturally Speaking, which also comes preinstalled on some Lenovo laptops (including mine, but it was one of the first things I uninstalled). I'd imagine it has something to do with being able to voice control applications/websites/whatever-Dragon-does. If you don't use Dragon, you can probably safely delete it.
