Security Warning: uTorrent

[Alley]

It has come to light that the latest version of uTorrent, the "widely recommended" torrent client is bundled with a bitcoin miner that will heavily stress your computer. Usually this wouldn't be a problem for discovery at all, but as we have recommended the torrent download for 4.88.1 in the release thread, it does matter.

As such, I invite you to ensure your computer does not have the software "Epic Scale" installed. If it is, uninstall it.

I also personally do not recommend uTorrent at all. Since they have been bought the program is constantly being bloated.
We recommend a free open-source alternative, qBittorrent. You can download it here: http://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php (Stable - SourceForge).

Sorry I am bad at tech stuff but... Which folder inside the 4.88.1 would you find it?

Nomnom,Alley means the torrent download client you would have to use to download the mod setup file.

If the game is already installed and you don't use torrents you don't need to do anything

ah ok... I dont use torrents but I do have uTorrent... From a while back installed I think.
Do I need to worry or is this just an updated version that is bad?
Should I just uninstall utorrent?

Yeah, just uninstalled mine yesterday cause my AV was going Nuts every like 30 seconds and kicking me out of games. That explains a lot.
