Hello all… I’m in the US temporarily from SE Asia and brought my laptop with me to the US. Currently living with family and forgot I had a laundry list of uTorrent downloads downloading in the background when I connected to their WiFi. Downloading really isn’t an issue in my area in Asia, and did not consider it here.

A couple months go by, and we got quarantined due to illegal downloading. Now reconnected, and cleared the computer of any and all downloaded material and uTorrent app. Hoping that’s the end of it, but wondering if there’s any more issues lurking ahead.

Apparently my VPN wasn’t up to par.
