@BBigford said in Torch malware / browser?:
If we're talking about the same Torch, it's not malware. It has a torrent client embedded in it so that might be throwing up a flag.
Not to say it might be a phishing variant, or be compromised in another way. But the browser itself is fine (based on Chrome). Used it for a couple years before moving on.
I saw that there is a split on whether or not it is technically "malware", but that's not as much my concern. I just need to be able to positively tell the customer that it didn't come from our side (and I'm feeling pretty confident in that it did not).
And to my eyes, @BBigford, its behavior absolutely qualifies it as malware. Too much sneaky stuff going on when you use it, pop up ads all over the place, the use of the word "toolbar", etc, but I digress.
