BitTorrent Inc - 3% Detection Rate *

Did you just run into a download or a file on your computer that has a digital signature from BitTorrent Inc? Some of the security products refers to the detected files as Win32.Application.OpenCandy.G and W32.Application.Opencandy!c. The detection rate for the BitTorrent Inc files collected here is 3%. Please read on for more details.
