    Already full of bloatware, uTorrent finally jumped the proverbial shark by including a hidden cryptocurrency miner in their latest update that you cannot opt out of.

    Switch to qBittorrent, an open source (like VLC) alternative.

    I stuck with the 2.something version until I found a Windows build of Transmission. There are better options.

    I thought it was funny reading how pretty much every Windows freeware site, from CNET to MajorGeeks to SourceForge, was filled with crapware in all their installers.
