| 434649 | 2006-02-28 20:52:00 | It's noticeable to me that since my son is not d/ling anything via bittorrents anymore, I very rarely have either a trojan or a virus - or am I wrong and it's just a "sleepy" period with not a lot around? sarel |

Chances are that if he was downloading torrents it was probably other actitvities like crack/serial/porn sites causing the trojan stuff. |

So do I and never get anything either but there are heaps of torrent sites around and some could be dodgey. You are probably right about the other sites being the culprits though. |

| 434653 | 2006-03-01 04:26:00 | I agree with the above posts, your son has probably been visiting mainstream crap (Found with google) torrent sites. Most experienced users using torrents don't have these issues with better sites. |

| 434654 | 2006-03-01 04:40:00 | google isn't very good for finding torrent sites. I found all the torrent sites I use either from a tech forum (like here & slashdot) or from links included with a bittorrent client | Greven (91) | ||
