skeeterdew Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Does anyone know why I keep getting unauthorized software/applications downloaded in uTorrent?Today I came home from work and find these downloaded and seeded:Bay Turbo Lister, Windows 10 Activators and some other MSOffice activator.My firewall is the Windows one.I run Malewarebytes, Spybot and an Adaware program with nothing threatening found.Any ideas?Thank you.

DreadWingKnight Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Do you have an autoload directory set in preferences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeterdew Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'm not sure what you mean.I'm wondering if Micro$oft is pushing Windows 10 stuff through torrents now. If they are, how are they doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 In preferences - directories, there's an automatically load .torrent files from setting Also if you have the webui enabled, torrents can be added that way. Additionally, RSS feeds can add torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeterdew Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Thank you for your reply.None of what you wrote applies to me. I've been using uTorrent for about 4 years and have never had any problems that couldn't be fixed. Just has me curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Have you tried to check it up with disabling all the so called "offers" (like with using my settings file)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeterdew Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm using pro 3.4.3. I don't see any ads.It happened again today. Some Micros0ft 2016 was trying to download but there were no peers.It's spooky.I may see if I can get a refund and go back to the version with ads.

DreadWingKnight Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Sounds like you have something on your system set up wrong, like possibly a poorly configured webui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
