  • When the install process is over, select Close.

A word of caution: Using Peer-to-peer (P2P) programs such as uTorrent is a sure way to get infected. As you can see from the lines taken from your logs, uTorrent and Vuze are allowed to bypass your firewall. This basically means that anything can go in and out of your computer without asking for your permission. It's no surprise that most people who get infected are P2P users. Please follow my advice and stay away from peer-to-peer software...it will save you a lot of headaches in the future.

You should find the following information useful..
  • Earlier you mentioned that your computer was running a little slow.. If you follow the steps in this article: What to do if your Computer is running slowly you will very likely see an improvement in your computer performance.
  • You should also read and get acquainted with the following topic: COMPUTER SECURITY - a short guide to staying safer online , which goes into depth on how to keep your computer secure. I bookmarked it for easy reference and so should you.
  • Some of the programs on your computer were oudated. The following article explains how to keep them up to date: How to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs using Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI).
