To do a "clean" install, get a reg. cleaner utility & clean your registry first! Then reboot your computer, to install uTorrent v1.6.1.

although it is the exact same thing as on utorrent.com. They did not change anything on the older version...

To be completely fair, the 'spying thing' is a more of an 'alleged spying thing,' and, at this point, unproven. Now should you choose to remove it because of the 'MPAA affiliation thing,' that is based solidly on facts.

I have the standalone version of 1.6.1 that I downloaded in early February. I just did some checking and utorrent and bittorrent joined forces in December. If you're really paranoid (I'm paranoid, but not that paranoid), go for 1.6.
