Why is µTorrent still in task manager after closing?

Running PeerBlock and noticed I was getting hit hard by "kungliga tekniska högskolan". It continued even though I closed µTorrent. So I thought I would double check if µTorrent had completely closed; I opened Task Manager and there it was still running. I immediately ended the task whilst watching PeerBlock and the blocked ip window stopped scrolling.

Is there a reason for this? I feel it is rather dodgy that when a Windows 7 Notification Area.

In reality, you probably weren't.

Peerblock doesn't tell you know it is. Peerblock sees an IP, looks it up on a list, and shows you what's written on that list.

That list is made up by people, often people with an agenda.

It's created through paranoia, and some of the BIGGEST leaps of logic you'll ever see. Many entries are 5+ years old, and perhaps a majority are based , not on evidence, but on 'gut feelings'.

Peerblock, is useless.
