Several bad clients have been released in the past couple months that I would rather leave unnamed, but spyware is the worst. What's worse is these sites advertising it. Don't be thrown by this if you're new to torrents. The good torrent communities in general remain strong as they ban these clients. So, get a client we recommend(not this one, no private community would recommend this) and enjoy sharing with your mates. Torrents are still worthwhile despite this explosion of bad clients.

Pfft. Your average American teenager knows what grammar is?

I actually believe that the targetpoint people are behind this program (don't ask me how I just know). Anyways damned be the ones who advertise this program. I can't believe snarf-it decided to get a piece of that cake, especially since they started a war last year against meganova for having usenext ads (which is spyware free). It's a total shame that they use their name to misinform people just to make a quick buck. Damn shame!

I have tried getting rid of it several times now. If you downloaded bitroll at all, even if you havent used it, you better start working to get it off your system. It hides itself, wont show up in the processes list, downloads ton of stuff very sly so you dont even know when its happening. I have removed it (or at least what I can find) many times but there is something I am missing because it always re-downloads itself and sets up new crap. It is very tricky, whoever wrote it needs to be punished severely. So I am guessing that this thing is like a weed, if you dont kill the root then it keeps coming back. I just wish I knew what the root was. I finally just disabled IE altogether and just use my firefox until I can kill this jerk program...
