If you have recently installed a BitTorrent client, you might be in the Bitcoin business whether you like it or not. The latest update to the popular P2P torrent application uTorrent is quietly installing unwanted software call “Epic Scale†onto your computers. So what is “Epic Scale?†Nothing “epic†just Bitcoin mining software.
The “Epic Scale†uses the computing power of all its users to generate Bitcoin income for the owners of uTorrent. Sadly, this slows down host computers and is hard to remove. It’s also sad that uTorrent made the addition technically consensual since it was sneakily added to the user agreement. Luckily, it can be uninstalled, it’s just aggravating to see such tactics.
