jlee Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Generally, you can uninstall any applications you have by going to "Control Panel" -> "Add/Remove Software" (or if you have a newer version of windows, "Programs and Features").That said, BitTorrent should not make your computer unusable unless you happened to download a torrent from an unreliable source, infecting your computer with a trojan/virus. In that case, you have bigger issues - like cleaning your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlee Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'm not sure I understand -- is Bittorrent still running despite not showing up in the list of installed programs?It sounds like bittorrent is already uninstalled...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trenidor Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hmm... Something fishy going on with my bittorrent...I cannot uninstall the program; it doesn't show up in my add/remove programs list. Yet when I restart/turn on my computer bittorrent auto launches. I only use bittorrent once every 5 or so months, so I typically install the latest version, use it for a week, let people leech me and then uninstall it.My computer hasn't been acting strange (yet). The thing that made me catch on to the fact that bit-torrent is still on my computer even though I uninstalled it, was that my router was flashing and I checked to see if it was MY computer bleeding bandwidth. How do I get rid of bittorrent when it reaches this stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vic Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 For those that can't find it in their "add/remove program" under Control panel. Try reinstalling the program then check if it's in the add/remove programs then uninstall it. Might of been a corruption somewhere in program.If that does not work you can try this IF you know your way around computers:If you know what you are doing, you can manually remove BitTorrent by deleting the directory C:\Program Files\BitTorrent\ (substituting the actual location of your Program Files dir) AND removing the following registry keys:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.torrentHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-bittorrentHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bittorrentHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\BitTorrentFor those that don't want the program to auto start when windows does do this, while program is open, go to "options" then "preference" then "General" uncheck the box: Start BitTorrent when Windows starts.
