Guest Rachel Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 Lately, since I began using the "timer" feature on Bit Torrent, I wake up to find at least 10 torrents downloading that I DID NOT PUT THERE. It's always the same files: Dexter, Stargate Universe, Windows 7 Ultimate, The Ricky Gervais Show, Sony Vegas Movie Software, and a few others. Does this mean my bit torrent has been hacked? I run Bit Torrent on a Mac and have never had any viruses on here before.What should I do???
Harold Feit Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 Do you have an autoload directory defined in your preferences?
Guest Rachel Posted December 12, 2011 Report Posted December 12, 2011 I think so. It says "automatically load from" and I chose the folder "downloads". Should I disable that function?
Harold Feit Posted December 12, 2011 Report Posted December 12, 2011 Yes. There's only a small number of reasons to have that setting enabled, and "accepting torrents from the browser" isn't one of them.
