I recently had a few problems with iTunes shutting down for no reason. Im on Vista. I got a message saying iTunes had "encountered a problem" and asked me if I wanted to search for a solution. It then said there was no solution and it was shutting down.
I did a system resore and it looks like that has fixed it but when I clicked on the "check for solutions to your problem" bit it sent a load of info about uTorrent.
That has never been a problem and Im just wondering why that would have happened.
The consiracy theorist in me says they're onto me and the copywrite people will be breaking down my door in the next 3 minutes whereas the rational side of me is trying to convince me its a lot more mundane than that.
My conspiracist side is winning at the mo!
Anyone got any ideas what happened and if I should be afraid??

Whenever any software crashes on XP/Vista, you are offered to send the details to MS in order for them to add it to thier library of crash data, and also to see if there are any solutions to the crash. As part of this data, it collects a list of all running applications and loaded processes and modules - if you were running uTorrent when iTunes crashed, you will see it listed in the data sent.

They say the data is stored anonomously, and that there is no way for them to connect your PC with a report once it's been submitted.

Remember, you do not have to send the data, and you can see what it's sending before you send it. If you have any concerns about what MS are doing with the data, don't send it.

Finally, there are many legal reasons why you would be running uTorrent. A crash dump won't state if you're breaking the law or not, so there would be no evidence for them to investigate you on.

Microsoft wouldn't be the one's you'd have to be worried about though, so don't breathe that sigh of relief just yet! Expect the trickle of prosecutions to turn to tens of thousands within the next 18 months.

probably wrong here...but should your comprehensible/incomprehensible be in this order?
