Not really a Virgin media Issue, just something I thought would be a good idea - this thread may need to be moved elsewhere

I've been having some strange problems with various web based games and things - checked my firewall and found a something called BTDNA.exe was uploading at something like 100 K, which is fair chunk of the 750 i get with my connection. Switched it off an all ok now. Turn out it's something that bit torrent installs on the sly, and puts it into the startup list on your machine.

Thought It might be an idea for a list of resource hogging background programs to be started.

if anyone has seen similar things please post them =D

Get a decent torrent client, ccleaner will enable you to stop any start up progs from running. Etc, etc, etc.
