Spigot malware

[mangefoo]

I accidentally clicked accept to install the Spigot malware when installing the uTorrent client on MacOS. What exactly does it install, and how do I remove it (COMPLETELY)?

 

Thanks,

Mange

First off one you should post to the right O/S location - your posting to PC Windows and if your expecting more help I doubt you will if a PC users sees this. And a simple search for your problem already has a solution outside of utorrent itself...

Thank you, sir. Since this is a forum about uTorrent and the uTorrent installer was the reason I got this malware on my system (the installer was purposely made to look like I was accepting the agreement for uTorrent itself, not the malware) I think this is the right place to ask questions.

 

BTW, don't you think there is a better way to make money from uTorrent than to trick users into installing malware?

 

Cheers,
