‘Downloading Is Wrong’ Trojan Blocks Access To BitTorrent Sites

By Adam Pash on January 6, 2009 at 2:00 AM

BitTorrent weblog TorrentFreak reports on a new piece of malware with a strange bent: If it infects your computer, this trojan will prevent you from accessing popular BitTorrent sites The Pirate Bay and Mininova. It does so by modifying the hosts file on your computer. If by chance you’ve been affected, check out the TorrentFreak post for more details.

    @MasterChi!?!: I do a lot of hacking, and I can tell you that none of what I do is illegal. Try being more specific than "hacking" please.
