Do we need to worry about this??? Aren't there security risks in uTorrent 2.2 or any older uTorrent???

Well, the current version of uTorrent stable is 3.2

Older versions do have bugs and security holes and should NOT be used.

Their listing for the "latest" for mac is outdated though.

Also, ILT has a history of not actually banning clients for good reasons.

I am currently using 3.1.3, so I guess I am safe for now??? Thanks for the reply...
