Che Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 uTorrent Installs a Bitcoin Miner to Steal CPU Power from Your PCuTorrent is one of the most popular torrent clients out there and a new update in the software has brought some unwanted package along with itself. Along with the new update, your PC may be running a Bitcoin miner as a background process without letting you know.This new upgraded version is 3.4.2 build 28913. Many uTorrent users have reported this on forums. People were shocked to notice the sharp increase in the CPU usage after the update. On investigating furthermore, it was found that uTorrent itself wasn’t using the CPU power, instead it was being done by a software called EpicScale, which is a Bitcoin mining application.Also, read our list of the best torrent websites of 2015.What is Bitcoin and bitcoin mining?Bitcoin is a type of digital currency which uses several encryption techniques for regulation of generation of currency units and fund transfer verification. No one prints it or controls it. It’s controlled and generated by lots of people all around the world by solving mathematical problems using software. This creation of bitcoins is called mining and users are rewarded by fresh bitcoins and transaction fees.Bitcoin has been a part of BitTorrent’s experiment since years as a banner ad in uTorrent to monetize it. It’s possible that BitTorrent has partnered with EpicScale to increase its income. This is cool and none of our business, but the twist comes when users report that the update doesn’t mention any instance of warning or notice.Also, know ways to download torrent files without using uTorrent or other clients.Using user’s CPU power this way is a serious infiltration. The parent company BitTorrent replied to the queries that they’ve scanned their installer and uTorrent doesn’t do such activity without user’s consent. Some users have updated the uTorrent (including me) and they didn’t find EpicScale being forced via the installation.So what’s the truth and what to do?It may be some kind of error at the distribution partner end. There’s another possibility that users forgot to read the warning and continued to install this risky update.If you’re noticing a sharp rise in CPU usage after the update, check if there’s some program named EpicScalei running in your system. Check this by going to Programs and features in Control Panel or via Task Manager.uTorrent Installs a Bitcoin Miner to Steal CPU Power from Your PC Quote

awnly3jhc2g Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) uTorrent nu are nimic in el, in schimb programele care ti le instalezi odata cu el cand dai next next next, iti fut diverse componente.Treaba asta se stie de cativa ani. Totusi imi plac randurile astea in articol :... it was found that uTorrent itself wasn’t using the CPU power, instead it was being done by a software called EpicScale, which is a Bitcoin mining application.Also, read our list of the best torrent websites of 2015.uTorrent intotdeauna a avut sponsori de cacao, dar mna, trebuia sa aiba si pe careva.

Iti trebuie un numar foarte, foarte mare de calculatoare obisnuite pentru a face mining in mod profitabil. Quote

Ganav Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 qBittorent FTW, aceeasi viteza, consum mai putin!De regula orice client open source este mai indicat decat unul closed source. Pe LINUX poate fi rulat cu strace sau valgrind pentru a detecta un consum ridicat de resurse(ciclii de procesor in acest caz). 1 Quote

Guest AndreiMihai Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Eu mereu cand descarc ceva, dupa ce e gata inchid utorrent.....ganditi-va ca asta e si motivul pentru care la multi le merge greu pc-ul cat au utorrent deschis si nu descarca nimic...inclusiv mie imi merge greu, si cand il inchid, magic merge totul repede iar.//Si mie personal imi merge greu chiar daca scot toate casutele alea sa nu se instaleze nimic decat utorrent%% Edited March 7, 2015 by AndreiMihai Quote

em Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Ur?sc ce a devenit uTorrent de când au fost cump?ra?i de Bittorrent. Crapware, adware, minware. Clientul se instaleaza plin de tot felu de reclame, toolbaruri, reclame care seamana cu torrente care se descarca (ca sa dai click pe ele).Ce e cel mai de rahat e c? au l?sat în prima pagina de la install "Never PAY for a free copy of utorrent" - de?i acum au ?i versiuni pe bani.În plus de asta, am observat c? versiunile mai vechi (e.g. kitul de 2.2.1) nu mai poate fi instalat. Trebuie s? opre?ti netul înainte.Muie utorrent, s? se duc? la fundul istoriei. 1 Quote
