Torrent101 Is Something You Don't Want To Share

The debate continues as to if it is moral to download music and movies? Some people argue that if you make a movie you spend lots of time, effort and money doing so and people simply getting it for free is not ethical. Others argue that if it is freely available why pay for it, what difference is downloading one movie going to make to the rich Hollywood movie makers. The same debate takes place for music, some musicians have a rule that they won't download any music; instead they will rather go buy the original. There reasoning is that if they make it big one day, they would hope people would pay for their material as opposed to simply finding it online and downloading it. It does not matter which side of this debate you fall under, but what does matter is that there are some peer-to-peer file sharing clients that will install malicious things onto your machine. I am here today to tell you that Torrent101 is something that you definitely don't want shared with you.

What exactly does Torrent101 do? Torrent101 is a very dangerous and sneaky peer-to-peer file sharing client. It is malicious and will install large amounts of malware onto your machine. You will receive vast amounts of annoying pop-up messages which will start driving you mad after a while, that much I can guarantee you of. This is not the only damage that Torrent101 causes your computer, yes there is more. Torrent101 also runs the risk of hijacking your browser if you are making use of Internet Explorer. It will attempt to hijack your Internet Explorer home pages and searches. Torrent101 is also closely related to Bitroll.

Any computer user's natural reaction would be to uninstall the malicious program immediately, getting rid of all the malware and irritating pop-ups that keep on randomly popping up. The bad news is that the pop-up messages will keep popping up, even after you have taken the time uninstall it. Torrent101 may cause your machines performance to be much slower than usual and you can also expect your reliable computer to become completely unstable.
