How To Remove uTorrent adWare (Mac)

Recommended Posts

I have always trusted uTorrent and am the developer of guTorrent which is a native GTK Linux frontend for the Linux uTorrent server. Because of this trust I installed uTorrent clicking next without reading the installer and would never had thought that uTorrent would have stooped so low as to install adWare on my machine. Once installed extensions are installed into your browser with names such as "Domain Error Assistant".

 

If you want to remove this rubbish from your machine check this link:

If you would like to continue the guTorrent project as I am over uTorrent now:

I just forked it over to my GitHub account at:  https://github.com/jtrag/gutorrent .  I may continue developing it when/if I get a chance ;)   Thanks for sharing  :)
