Hey guys! Just want to let you know that there is a "virus" that is with a popular program called Bittorrent. This a bitcoin miner that bittorrent have implemented with a recent update that uses your GPU to mine them bitcoins The way to get rid of it is uninstalling bittorent. There is another thread by @ deardevildude that explains his issues with this and what he has been through with this he said that his GPU usage was at 95% constantly and after uninstalling Bittorrent it went down to "normal usage" which is around nothing until gaming He also still has uTorrent installed and that is causing no issue, i too also have uTorrent but i do not have this issue Hope this helps you guys Thanks, Edit: atleast i think it was in a recent update, not too sure how long this has been around for

It was reported in the news a few days back. It's hard to accept they're not halting it.
