Malware Extorts Cash From BitTorrent Users | TorrentFreak

Don't know if any of you torrent music or movies, but if you do, beware of this one. It had a very computer savy friend of mine convinced.

I got a hold of a virus off a bit torrent site that opened every freaking program on my computer. It took me 6 hours to get them all closed and get the virus off there. I've never fooled with bit torrent since,lol I lost a ton of pictures in that fiasco. Thanks for the heads up!

Torrenting is ok, just do a virus scan on the link download. Right click and it should be an option in the right click menu.
