BitThief is an ongoing project of the Distributed Computing Group at ETH Zurich.
The project deals with incentive problems in peer-to-peer filesharing systems. The lack of incentives to upload potentially results in a total collapse of the network, implying that it is essential for a completely decentralized system to incorporate protocols that ensure a fair sharing of resources. We developed a BitTorrent client that free rides on BitTorrent, that is, it downloads from BitTorrent swarms without contributing any resources itself which illustrated that the BitTorrent protocol currently fails to prevent uncooperative behavior as it does not provide any countermeasures against free riding clients.
We argue that the BitTorrent protocol has to be modified in order to effectively prevent selfishness. Our proof-of-concept client BitThief is a byproduct of our HotNets-V paper "Free Riding in BitTorrent is Cheap". Note that, as it is a scientific project, we require measurements of the performance of our exploits. For that purpose, the client occasionally transmits data to our webserver. The transmitted data merely contains information about the time required to download files of any size. In particular, only a hash of the info hash is transmitted, which means that it is not feasible to determine what has actually been downloaded which is not of our concern. However, we advice all testers not to download any copyrighted material.

PC World's Editorial Review of F-Secure Blacklight Rootkit Eliminator
One of the more esoteric but dangerous pieces of malware that might infect you is a rootkit. This software uses tricky techniques to shield itself from many anti-spyware, anti-malware, and anti-virus programs. A rootkit hides deep in your system, and allows someone to take complete control of your PC without your knowledge. Rootkits typically are spread online in a variety of ways, such as riding along on another download.
Some anti-virus tools, such as Avast, claim to detect and kill rootkits. Many don't. But even if you are using an anti-virus tool that claims to detect them, you can't be too safe. So you'd do well to download, install, and use F-Secure Blacklight Rootkit Eliminator, a freebie designed to do one thing, and one thing alone: detect and kill rootkits.
The program looks inside your PC's folders, files, and hidden processes, looking for signs that you've been infected with a rootkit. It then tells you whether your system is rootkit-free, or possibly infected. It lists every possible sign of infection. Double-click on every one of them, and you'll be shown more information, such as a description, the company that made it, the file location, and so on. You can then use Blacklight Rootkit Eliminator to get rid of the threat, by renaming the file and giving it a .ren extension so that it can't do any further damage. However, before taking that step, it's a good idea to search for the file name on Google and make sure that the file truly is a rootkit, and not a legitimate file. If your PC continues to function well after you've renamed the file, you can eventually delete the renamed files.
Note that if you're not experienced, you might want to stay away from this program. Renaming and deleting files could possibly wreak havoc on a PC, so if you're not comfortable renaming, restoring, and deleting files--and troubleshooting PCs--you may be courting danger.

From Wikipedia: A BitTorrent client is a program that manages torrent downloads and uploads using the BitTorrent protocol.
The first client, known as BitTorrent, was created by Bram Cohen, in October 2002. Cohen created the client based on what he refers to as the Golden Rule: the faster a user uploads, the faster he or she can download.[1]
Many subsequent clients have been at least partially based on it. Not all clients were originally built for BitTorrent, having added support for the protocol later on. There have been attempts to package malware as BitTorrent clients, probably due to the availability of many legitimate clients and users willingness to try new ones.

SyncToy 2.0 for Windows is available as a free download from the Microsoft Download Center. The easy to use, customizable application helps you copy, move, rename, and delete files between folders and computers.
There are files from all kinds of sources that we want to store and manage. Files are created by our digital cameras, e-mail, cell phones, portable media players, camcorders, PDAs, and laptops. Increasingly, computer users are using different folders, drives, and even different computers (such as a laptop and a desktop) to store, manage, retrieve, and view files. Yet managing hundreds or thousands of files is still largely a manual operation. In some cases it is necessary to regularly get copies of files from another location to add to primary location; in other cases there is a need to keep two storage locations exactly in sync. Some users manage files manually, dragging and dropping from one place to another and keeping track of whether the locations are synchronized in their heads. Other users may use two or more applications to provide this functionality.
Now there is an easier way. SyncToy, a free PowerToy for Microsoft Windows, is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories. Most common operations can be performed with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization is available without additional complexity. SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another case. Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.
