content: Windows 10, torrent security risk. The Windows 10 updates is just like how you would distributes via a torrent. Your computer downloads from one or more strange computers and your computer becomes a seeder distributing to other strange computers. First issue: Your computer connects to complete strange computers. So you download packages that might be contaminated by a worm or virus. Back in the old days Microsoft came out with ActiveX  claiming that because it was signed that it was secure. Of course what a massive failure that was. Second issue Every time you connect to a strange computer, you punch a hole in your security. If you connect to 10 different PC's to download or upload your updates, then these 10 different computers could be hackers faking a Windows 10 machine in order to attack you when you connect.
