I dunno what to say. I never got any viruses. I scanned everything before I opened it and never downloaded any exes.

Azereus was pretty good. But vuze is when it went to shit if I remember right. It basically followed the same path as uTorrent by selling to ad companies and became adware.

Also, if anyone is wondering the modern torrent clients today that are clean of any adware are Qbittorrent, Deluge, and Transmission.

Having to reformat your hard drive and reinstall a pirated version of windows XP because your computer can’t stop loading porn websites and you’re browser had 10 toolbars you can’t remove. It’s a right of passage to learn that. Honestly, the adware I got infected on the family PC just made me learn computers. And now I’m 10 years into a Software Engineering career.

Thanks adware. You kick started my career at the age of 12.
