Saw this post over on TorrentFreak, where they have found some of the sites that are stuffing malware on users machines, making money tricking novice users into installing bad clients, bad media players and Winzip-like software.
However, there are companies out there who give you ‘free’ software (like a torrent client) but at the same time install some of that extra stuff you don’t want too. We have regularly reported on BitTorrent clients which also install this malware such as Torrent101, BitRoll, TorrentQ and GetTorrent. These are just a handful of bad clients currently available online.
It didn’t take much research to discover that a Swedish company called Wakenet is behind the enterprise, a company that made news on lots of spyware sites due to its Anti-Leech plugin. Source: uTorrent and WinZip New Targets of BitTorrent Malware
