WinterLady Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Let me try to explain this: For some reason, whenever I open uTorrent version 3.4.2 this annoying "I really miss you; I love you baby; Happy birthday:" music starts playing and only stops when I shut it down completely. I tried searching here but couldn't find anyone who's had the same problem. Malwarebytes has been run twice but no spyware or anything else has been found. Does anyone have an idea what's going one and how I can stop it from happening every time I open it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesteral Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I receive the same thing. I does it totally random. Anyone have a clue what causes this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointystick922 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Created an account just to comment.I've had the happy birthday problem a couple of times, it's really creepy. I didn't realize it was utorrent doing it until I googled it. Not saying it won't happen again, but I'm pretty sure it's just a bad ad. hit the x above the advertisement box and it'll stop.

noctuadreams Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I have had it happen one to many times (when you least expect it) not knowing why, until now (despite having successfully disabled all official adds within the ui settings) its rather annoying (last nail in the coffin) this is why I'm leaving µTorrent and BitTorrent (won't recommend it to my friends) indefinitely for open-source torrent clients without adds and third party "malware" software.

N4TE_B Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I suppose it's great if it's your birthday, otherwise I can see why it is supremely annoying/scary, especially at 3am. I'm escalating this to the developers. We'll figure out the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondermouse Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Got the same problem. Randomly about twice a week, loud music starts playing from uTorrent - some sort of dance music (not the happy birthday as described elsewhere), and the only thing that gets rid of it is to shut down utorrent and restart it. It's like some kind of virus or malware but seems to be baked into utorrent. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit and utorrent 3.4.2 There's no indication that I can find from within utorrent that it's doing this, but it's definitely coming from utorrent as the music can start up with no other program windows open and only shutting utorrent down gets rid of it! Please help clearly this is affecting a few of us here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdsSuck Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Its the advertisement in the lower left corner of uTorrent. It is a cupcake with a candle rocking back and forth for MyFunCards. Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4TE_B Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 If people encounter this, it would be very helpful to get a screenshot of it. The Ad partner says it is removed, but if people are still getting it, we need to know when and get a screencap. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterLady Posted December 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Just wanted to update that I have not heard that annoying song for a while now. I upgraded to build 36802 and haven't heard it since then. Thank you to everyone who helped and assured me that I wasn't going crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
