Just in case there are any µTorrent users.

If you recently installed or updated uTorrent on your PC, you may have have picked up an unwanted passenger: a Bitcoin miner called Epic Scale. That piece of code comes attached at the hip with the latest uTorrent build (version 3.4.2) and uses your computer as part of a Bitcoin farm to generate revenue for someone other than you. Users first reported the situation on uTorrent's forums, and it was quickly confirmed by a senior support manager. He said that the app "cannot be installed without permission," but one user pointed out that there was "never a warning about it," even though he opted out of other bundled software.

µTorrent used to be the one to switch to to avoid bloat and junk...
EDIT: Any good alternatives for Windows?
