This makes me veerryy annoyed at BT, as my computer contains the Aurora.exe program.
And whose fault is that?
If you're annoyed at BT, you might as well be annoyed at HTTP (and clients using it) too. After all, that's the much more common channel of spyware distribution.

Any internet user downloading a movie clip only becomes aware of the associated adware after the download has been complted. At that stage, when you click on "Run" (for some reason), you are greeted by an installation notice for an adware bundle distributed by MMG [blah blah blah].
I fail to see the revolutionary discovery that should make everyone abandon bittorrent.

I love how the day I start to use BitTorrent I see this topic. xD But it was bound to happen sometime.
