Im sorry but this is just trash journalism at its worst, the title is totaly incorrect @btcfeed, because its not without users approoval.
The problem is coming from utorrent partnership program, which offers optional offer from their partners, and the only ones that get suckered in are users
that skip through instalation in 2 seconds not reading what the selected options even are, and that leaves them with 99 toolbars, lowest trash search engine and mallware(actually more like adware), and thats that.
cheers

Yes, but the parent company BitTorrent allows such software as part of their uTorrent client is somewhat disturbing to me.
As I see it, the bundled program in question is no better than a trojan, using computer resources without user knowledge to generate revenue for third party.
No responsible company should allow this to be bundled with their software, period - revenue or no revenue.
