uTorrent comes with malware

Name: dubsmon 2015-03-06 16:41

BitTorrent client uTorrent has come under fire from users after it emerged the software’s latest update comes bundled with Bitcoin mining software.

The piece of software, named Epic Scale, is a Bitcoin miner that purports to use your ‘unused processing power to change the world.’

According to one user, the software is ‘easily noticeable by the increased CPU load when the computer is idle.’

Unfortunately, the problem lies in the fact that users say they weren’t asked they wanted the software to be installed, although it must be noted that the uTorrent team flatly denies that silent installs have occurred.

Torrenting broadcasts your IP address to the swarm, which can be used as evidence to disconnect your user ISP account(e.g. three strikes).

Well the few people who were using uTorrent probably won't use it any more.
Seriously, why the fuck would anybody touch that toxic software?
