Regrettably, the only information that I was being supplied with in this forum area was with regard to installing another program of a similar variety known as U Torrent.

It was only then after being directed to this site on numerous occasions that I then realized that I had inadvertently installed Torrent Q when I installed the torrent download program I was using at the time, which was Bit Comet V.90.

So all that I had to do was go to the control panel and then to the add remove program and uninstall Bit Comet, and all would have been apples as they say.

After having downloaded U Torrent I then simply installed that program, and then did a restart and there did not appear to be any further difficulties with Adware, at least for the time being.

Here I was spending hours and hours going through the registry, etc, etc trying to find out just where this dam Adware Torrent Q was located when the answer was staring me right in the face all along.

I wish some one would have steered me in the right direction with your previous postings, it would have saved me a great deal of time and anguish trying to work out how to remove Torrent Q, in the first place.

I have run an antispyware program and there does not appear to be any type of malicious adware in the program that I have just installed , U Torrent.

Under the assumtion they have “your” torrent, you can become member and then it becomes apparent they use the same method as other torrent sites, so one has to pay for nothing. It is same as e.g. Torrentpond, but only after payment. Contact of course does not work!
