____________________________________
We have noticed that most people seeking help from us are coming with infections contracted from the use of P2P programs.

Because of this, we felt we needed to change our policy on the use of P2P file sharing programs.

You have the following P-2-P program(s) installed
uTorrent\

This is how you uninstall it/them:


  • Click on Start > Control Panel and double click on Programs and Features.
  • Locate uTorrent\ and click on the Uninstall button to uninstall it.
  • Close Control Panel when done.

NOTE: Take care when answering any questions posed by an uninstaller. Some questions may be worded to deceive you into keeping the program.


We do not ask you to do this without reason.

P2P programs form a direct conduit onto your computer, their security measures are easily circumvented, and Malware writers are increasingly exploiting them to spread their wares onto your computer. Further to that, if your P2P programme is not configured correctly you may be sharing more files than you realise. There have been cases where people's Passwords, Address Books and other personal, private, and financial details have been exposed to the file sharing network by a badly configured programme.



When your done please post a new HJT log.

Also let me know how you removed the spyware yourself. What tools did you use ?
