It seems that the BitTorrent client uTorrent has silently installed Bitcoin mining software on its users computers, without its users knowledge or permission. You have been warned.

The bitcoin software which has been added to the latest version of uTorrent is called EpicScale, which is a bitcoin miner which uses your "unused processing power to change the world". Many users of uTorrent found the addition "easily noticable by the increased CPU load when the computer is idle".

The largest problem with the addition of this bitcoin mining software is that users of uTorrent were not asked if they wanted it during installation or that it was included in the installation, which means that the software was installed without their expressed permission/ consent.

The build of uTorrent in question is version 3.4.2 build 28913 (32-bit), an uTorrent employee did say that you could simply delete the EpicScale software from your PC and it would not try to reinstall itself.



"Feel free to delete this folder. You certainly won
