slashviper Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi,i was trying to install utorrent from a random site like filehippo or cdownload but i ended up in a scam.http://portableapps.com/apps released a so call"portable" version of utorrent which is a malware full of ads and it is very difficult to remove. It seems the only way to remove it is by downloading an uninstaller software from them. Of course i won't do that but now i'm stuck with this program in my list and I'm sure is not safe.Any idea to solve my problem?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreasvb Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 What you call malware is in actual official µTorrent as well. Just read and decline the offers you don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slashviper Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi,After accidentally installing those programs I'm unable to remove them therefore it is malware.Also Utorrent doesn't want to be removed (no Admin rights even if I am an Admin account).I find this way of promoting the software somehow disappointing and dishonest.
