Spyware loaded??

Isn't uTorrent loaded with some form of spyware? I know it infected my machine the last time I tried to load it up about a year ago or so. Haven't dared try it again since. I liked the interface and how it handled, but it messed up my machine rather well at the same time.

Did I just get a bad release or was this happening once upon a time?

Utorrent is very portable and unbloated with any spyware. If you think you received spyware from it in the past... you either are mistaken and received it from somewhere else... or you downloaded it from somewhere that WASN'T the official utorrent website.

µTorrent actually came with some 'report home' function for a few versions, after BitTorrent bought it, those versions are banned on most private trackers these days.

uTorrent is clean anybody says otherwise is being a fanboy to something else.

The beta is pretty solid right now.
