News µTorrent Build 21586

Please update to at least 2.0.4 build 21431 if you use µTorrent as it fixes a reported DLL exploit.

There is a DLL vulnerability in all versions of Windows affecting a great deal of software applications. Subsequently, attack code targeting the ?Torrent client surfaced on a third-party website, and while so far no attacks have been reported to us, we have released ?Torrent 2.0.4 to fix this vulnerability.
