However, if any bittorrent client had a vulnerability in it, it could be taken advantage of. The scanner program might have picked up an exploit for a different version of a different program, or something. Or, the signature might just suck. I've noticed while using Snort to monitor traffic, when I'm downloading something off BitTorrent, it often picks up on signatures that it sees that are purely coincidental.

It still makes it that much harder, though!
I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.
Azureus blows. Big nuts. In hell. I turn off UPnP, I have all the required ports open, and now it's bitching about Distributed Hash Tables. -.-
