I keep an External for after formatting to quickly re installed the important files.

After formatting, I tried to install utorrent from my external to the fresh windows 7.

Utorrent made a parasitic move to create a second Terms of Service but this time it was to install the so called antivirus <Adaware> which after researching is mostly a malware program that does nasty stuff, making a file on desktop, and replacing my search engines on every browser with the same company search engine.

I then reformatted again, but the question is, since I installed it on the C: drive, is by any chance my External Drive infected as well? Or was it spared from the damage?
Thanx
 
Solution
Redownload utorrent from www.utorrent.com

Delete the old executable you have.

Use your antivirus program to scan your external hard drive for threats.
