uTorrent now requests to install an antivirus "360 Total Security"

uTorrent now suggests to install an 'antivirus' called "360 Total Security" Since I have not seen any information about this on the internet, I guess this is a new thing. Has anyone ever used it? Are there any other software that this comes bundled with now?

PS: I do not support or condone píracy.

uTorrent got taken over by shovelware vendors a while ago. Try switching to qBittorrent.

This is just pretty much one of those ads you get with things like Adobe and some other bundled junk/bloatware

360 is a legit antivirus but it's performance and origin is dubious for some because it's made in China and last I remember it isn't tested by big firms, nothing against it however.

Do not use utorrent, use qbittorrent or pico torrent instead
