Illegal Downloading Issue


Recommended Posts

Hey all... my brother installed a program called BIT TORRENT onto my computer.... i have already kicked his ass... but i just wanna know i have fully unistalled the program... he used it... but i have deleted all dowloading files... i just wanna know if by him using this program could it have harmed my pc apart from the usual adware & spyware... can it hook me up to any dialers or anything?

Thanks guy

Depends what client it is. The only one I can think of that has adware in it is BitLord and thats just adware, not spyware and certainly not malicious.

I lol'd at "i have already kicked his ass" :laugh:

I think you should be worried about the FBI (the Sydney branch) knocking down your door and smacking you like it's bitch. Then INTERPOL will stop by for some backhanding.

No he didn't mysterious_w because it was a figure of speach... maybe the education you have might not be as good as you think...

I'm just dying to know how you "figuratively" kick somebody's ass. Please tell.

Well he said it was his computer, not his brothers. I would hate to find that my brother installed any programs on my PC. Who likes to find out that someone installed stuff on their PCs.
