I downloaded and installed the Vuze app directly from the ***** site a few hours ago. The Vuze installer downloaded and installed api's and start-up items from ***** and www.unionsoftwareonline.com. The products piggybacked on the Vuze installer were: both Quick Browse and AppMonitor which resulted in re-directs and persistent adware, changed my Chrome, Safari and Firefox browser preferences, redirecting searches to Yahoo as the search engine with persistent links to api.unionsoftwareonline.com. These were installed on my Mac despite my selections during the Vuze installer run to install no additional or optional software. It took quite awhile to track down the hidden files installed and remove them from my Mac, OS ***** Beware!

Vuze client installs malware even if you tick off all the "extras". Stay away.

What at one time was good site with useful software has become as malicious as any malware I've seen. The installation program will install add ons that will hijack every browser you have, even if you explicitly tell it not to. Even if you manage to uninstall the browser add ons and plug ins it installs, Vuze will auto upgrade itself every few days it seems and add them right back. Stay away from Vuze. There are other Bit Torrent clients on the web that work just as well

This can be a good torrent site- but watch the downloads and always always always look things over. What is new?

Had a trojan installed with the software from this site. Download it from sourceforge

Great ad-free BitTorrent client, however when installing the software be sure to carefully inspect all pages of the installer, and uncheck/decline unwanted program offers. As with every torrent client, illegal content and adult content can be downloaded

Official page of Vuze torrent client. Safe. No one force user to install toolbars or adware. Just opt out.

I use Vuze since 2012. Sometimes it happens that i cannot find what I want regarding torrents but it's not really such a big deal. My fav of all specific apps.

Many tools to choose from, great client, though not my favorite. As always with p2p: I recommend to install an IP blocker like PeerBlock to avoid being spied on, and to avoid to upload to educational facilities.

installing Vuze will hijack your browser's google search bar, overiding your choice and setting it to yahoo search. It also will hijack your browser homepage to Yahoo. I think it also installed some sort of unwanted "super antispyware" program.

There are much better and faster programs than Vuze.

This site will change all your default web browsers and add toolbars that just feed affiliate spam crap back to the developer, not adding to their specific software in any way. It's a pain in the ass to track down all of the junk they install without permission.

Отличный софт.

puts adds all over face book any every other web site. More pain that it was worth

A great application for managing video content. Seems to have some really cool features but is pretty easy to use.

If you have the freaking annoying vuze toolbar with the download(eventhough) you disabled it during the download.... Then you can get ride of it, by doing system recovery ( Dutch word systeemherstel) Just recover your system from just before the download and it will get ride it, well here it worked. Good luck to all those who are pissed of by the ennoying toolbar. Wont use vuze never again now!!!
