EpicScale

EpicScale is a suspicious potentially unwanted program that users can download from epicscale.com. Even though the official website does exist, and the installer is active, this PUP has been brought to our attention due to being distributed with the uTorrent installer. uTorrent is one of the most popular BitTorrent clients used by over 100 million users worldwide. The latest version (3.4.2) of this program is believed to be the main carrier of the questionable EpicScale. Unfortunately, this PUP is unreliable, and all users should delete it. If you don’t remove EpicScale, this potentially unwanted program could use up memory resources and decrease the performance of your operating system. Do you know why? Unfortunately, this is not due to its amazing services; otherwise, we would not recommend removing this program. Read more »
