professa X Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yea be careful. Apparently sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesnt during install. Look for epic scale in your installed programs. Its also probably running in the background. This is just a glorified virus.http://torrentfreak.com/utorrent-quietly-installs-riskware-bitcoin-miner-users-report-150306/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Kimiko Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Just found out about this, does this have any affect on Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 That's why a lot of users said don't install new versions of utorrent, 2.2.1 is the only version you should grab if you do plan on using utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yeah like Ang3l said, utorrent basically died with 2.2.1 Don't bother using any adware/bloatware versions that came after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Just found out about this, does this have any affect on Mac?I don't think the bitcoin mining thing has a Mac counterpart, but I'm sure there is adware that the installer would try to install if the user isn't careful.

seirachan Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) My Utorrent auto installs updates, is my PC already infected? I don't see any signsScanned my whole C drive with kaspersky, don't see anything and don't see those names anywhere. Maybe I'm just lucky, I stopped auto updates now.
