With my finals done, I was hanging out in the Student Union drinking a Starbucks and relaxing before driving home. At the table next to mine were 3 students having a conversation about the Windows 7 RC. I listened in as they were telling each other about their experiences after the download.
Student1, "Microsoft is sending out an infected download!"
Student2, "Sure are. My PC had all kinds stuff popping up after I got it installed.
Student3, "I told you both to quit using bitTorrent to download stuff. Don't you realize that you can get a clean version directly from Microsoft?
At least 1 of them was smart enough to do the right thing. I later found out that all 3 were Computer Science majors and could have downloaded the RC from the schools MSDN page.
Be advised there are several infected torrents out there! Don't use them. If you want a clean version then go to the Microsoft site to get the original download.
With that Info,
Safer Surfing!
