Reports going around that the latest BAN-ME release installs Bitcoin mining malware on your PC. Anyone on BAN-ME should either downgrade to 2.2.1 (last adware and ad free version) or just switch to something like qBittorrent. You have been warned !
ive on 3.4.2 on the basic version no problems for me cheers for letting me know anyways n i have antivirus software
3.4.2 here as well, no problems at all. Got any links and sources for you info, or is it just a rumor?

This is actually quite ingenious... and I am surprised most other BAN-ME-PLEASE programs do not do this, that is such an easy way to make money... however, I am not sure how they are getting away with it, as it is highly illegal to do what they are doing. It is in essence turning a computer into a mining machine for the benefit of there company, it's like how people use botnets and have gained access to another users computer via a rootkit or trojan.. This won't last long... it only takes one man with a lot of money to send a lawsuit and valid proof that BAN-ME is using there machines processing power for there benefit.
So, after looking into it, this is a legit thing. However, you have to agree to install this program, it's not something BAN-ME is just shoving into your computer.
Its one of those things they sneak in during install, most people just click away without reading what they are instaling with it.
Actually my anti-virus caught something in the last 2 days. MALWARE FILE: 3.4.2_38913.exe was attempted to be installed from http://llsw.download3.BAN-ME.com/. It's true...
