Virus Information

[waterboy_trick]

Hey guys!

 

Just want to let you know that there is a "virus" that is with a popular program called Bittorrent.

 

This a bitcoin miner that bittorrent have implemented with a recent update that uses your GPU to mine them bitcoins

 

The way to get rid of it is uninstalling bittorent.

There is another thread by @deardevildude that explains his issues with this and what he has been through with this 

 

he said that his GPU usage was at 95% constantly and after uninstalling Bittorrent it went down to "normal usage" which is around nothing until gaming

He also still has uTorrent installed and that is causing no issue, i too also have uTorrent but i do not have this issue

 

Hope this helps you guys

 

Thanks,

 

Edit: atleast i think it was in a recent update, not too sure how long this has been around for
