Is uTorrent safe ?

uTorrent is a BitTorrent client, so it speaks the BitTorrent protocol, much like a browser would speak HTTP. Just as there are multiple web browsers, there are multiple BitTorrent clients, and µTorrent is the most popular.



Most Hackers use torrents to spread their virus, keylogger.. So by downloading a torrent you may downloaded also a virus or a keylogger  but not all torrents are infected some of them may be clean.

As long as you are downloading cracked games, or pirated movies expect to get infected any time but as I said before not all of them can be.

But ! we can't stop using it since we always looking for games, softwares etc.. 

In order to make sure you are safe when downloading make sure you scan any downloaded file and run it in sandboxie then scan it online on virustotal..

You can also try it on virtual machine just in case it was infected than you figure it out before it infect your computer


Folllowing my steps isn't enough but it's better than nothing..

Thanks for reading
Hope you enjoyed
