G+_Jason Perry Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 So one of the sponsors programs "solves math problems." But it looks like it does prompt you to accept or decline the install, at least in Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 It's annoying... but it's NOT without permission. If you read the EULA, they spell out EXACTLY what they're going to install. They tell you that if you don't want to install the miner, then you should "Disagree" with the EULA and not install their software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Eddie Foy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Block services. Throttle the app (nice?) block the port (if possible) Use Transmission or other app. Don't upgrade. The older version was working and will probably still work. (upgrading for the sake of upgrading isn't always the best course of action) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
