[CS-FSLUG] Comment on Azureus...

[Christopher Rose]

I chose to visit the link you sent. Ironically, I can not find anything malevalent. It gives every appearance of being a legitimate bittorrent site. I suspect that azureus.exe is the executable for the bittorrent installer from that site. I can not be certain as I am not using windoze. Nor, at this moment, am I running my computer from hda. Rather, again, I am using a live-cd. Still, nothing I'd be interested in. I do not trust bittorrent, too easy for a hacker to access the harddisk.

Pax,

Christopher
