Atomiser Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Hi all, I seem to hev goten myself in a bit of a jam, I have searched high and low for a solution and not found a similar situation. if anyone can point me to a solution it wouldbe fantastic.The Problem.uTorent is running perfectly no problems with the usability or speeds. The problem i have noticed is torrent files keep adding themselfs to my downloads.There is a pattern to theses rouge downloads though.This data is always the sameXX replaces ttTracker: hXXp://the-monkey-house.com/announce.php?passkey=4905196e8e5dfe4cc5513b13a31da324Torrent Content: Wii GameTorrent Pulisher: Wii-WiiDalso the torrent name always start with a number e.g.618-Carnival.Games.PAL.RERiP.Wii-WiiD619-Super.Smash.Bros.Brawl.PAL.RERiP.Wii-WiiD7My first thoughts are its a virus, its found its way onto my PC through another torrent and it is capable of adding torrents without my say so.SystemVista Business SP1Utorrent v1.8.2 (build 14153)I have checked and i do not have WebUi enabled so there not getting through there.There are no torrent files hanging around in my Incomplete folder.Well its realy starting to freak me out, surely torrents cannot be added to downloads without the users say so, and if they can then is quite a big hole and needs to be patched. if you require anymore info on please let me know.Regards Atomiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 You have to be careful about what you download.uT is just a BitTorrent download manager so if the data associated to the torrent contain a virus, you can be infected, as you are on the web with your browser.What is your antivirus? Did you run a scan to control if your computer is infected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
