uTorrent Quietly Installs Cryptocurrency Miner

[KingZee]

uTorrent has been bought by the MPAA and silently mines bitcoins for "charity" by quietly installing a program called EpicScale. (link to EpicScale website) It shows in Programs and Features, but does not actually uninstall when you try to uninstall it through Progs&Features. Somebody posted a warning about EpicScale in the uTorrent forums, but the mods of the uTorrent forums deleted it. Beware!

This was a news back in April-May.
Since then all uTorrent users that read the news have migrated to something else.

qBittorrent was the choice I liked and I use now.
