If you need greater control over your downloads, use something like utorrent.

This will be activated only when you use the "Force download" (Right click on item in the torrent and left click on force download)

This process started making pop-up windows in my browser. I also found that it created a trojan virus and a keylogger, when I looked around in my files.

I strongly recommend uninstalling BitTorrent and ending BTDNA.exe with procexp.exe. I didn't do this, and took the easy route,and re-installed Windows XP.

Installed "BitTorrent" package along with the "DNA" package.

Uninstalled the package because I no longer need it, but it keeps re-installing. Further, whatever has taken over my system removes MicroTrend's malware protection every time I reboot.

Read "http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-dna-vulnerable-to-remote-hijack-080103/". While the btdna.exe is probably not the virus/trojan itself, it appears to be a major attack vector or is used by the attacking code to move large portions of data around.

It's a trojan, do not download hi-jacks your upload and uses all your upload bandwidth.
