Of course, Vuze, like Adobe, has "updates" every few weeks to give the user a chance to accidentally install pay for click software. Adobe has Mcaffee. Vuze you need to click customize, uncheck offers and toolbar, then skip another offer, etc. This is all ok (not great since it is sneaky) but understandable for a free program. However, this latest update seems to have malware attached. My spyware monitor went crazy the first night about 4-5am after installing the update - over and over it blocked unauthorized access inbound from an IP address linked to Vuze. Exe. Finally, rebooting my computer to clear out the problem. Finding my computer rebooted was a clue (I do not allow automatic updates, nor have tasks scheduled). It is time to find another torrent handler. Optional adware is one thing, trying to attack my computer when I sleep is over the line.
