uTorrent SPAM!?

[Dataz]

I just started uTorrent and got this pop-up window:

I get a new window everytime I restart uTorrent.

I downloaded ad-ware/spy-ware/etc. remover from Macupdate but I had nothing so my guess, uTorrent SPAM!

uTorrent 1.5.14
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3

I just removed uTorrent. Will never use this software again!

Just fired up mine. Yup, same ad just popped up.

Transmission is far better!

Yep, I'm returning to Transmission. Oh, why did I leave?

I should add I only got the popup ad once, unlike the OP who is getting it each times he opens utorrent.

Still SPAM.

I think you have to press cancel instead of close (x) and is not showing anymore.

Yes, I agree.
