Comcast Msg. Re Download From BitTorent ?

Hello,

Have a PC that is used by several people, unfortunately.

Apparently one of them downloaded some file from something called BitTorent.
Am a Sr. Citizen now, very, and know nothing about BitTorent downloading(s).

Receive a nasty eMail from Comcast, which I'll append some of at the end.

Questions:

a. Is this something I should really be worried about (the Comcast msg.) ?

b. Ramifications ? Legal, etc. ?

c. Any way in W10 prohibiting any and all downloads from this Bit Torent ?
Or possibly prohibiting its use entirely ?

Thanks,
Bob

Comcast has received a notification by a copyright owner, or its authorized agent, reporting an alleged infringement of one or more copyrighted works made on or over Comcast's High-Speed Internet service (the 'Service'). The copyright owner has identified the Internet Protocol ('IP') address associated with your Service account at the time as the source of the infringing works.

Comcast reminds you that use of the Service (or any part of the Service) in any manner that constitutes an infringement of any copyrighted work is a violation of Comcast's Acceptable Use Policy and may result in the suspension or termination of your Service account.

It doesn't say what was downloaded is film,mp3 but it can be serious and you can get very heavy fines for piracy along with that it tends to bring virus down with the torrents. The torrents need removing from the PC and user gold in no uncertain terms he could be in big trouble

You should change your password on your pc and lock out who ever is downloading that content for starters. Comcast will send you numbered warnings. If it continues they will cut off your service first.

Is there a way to lock out other devices from accessing the cable modem if the device was plugged directly in? If not someone could just unplug Robert's computer and plug in their own. Robert11 you need to stop allowing others to use your internet. If you are using wireless you need to make sure it's password protected. If it already is then you need to change your password. Who ever is doing this doesn't care if you get into trouble.

I think you are mis-reading (or I am) but it appears the SOURCE of the copyright material being downloaded is your PC..

Now that makes no sense at all.

I see what your saying but he has not established that he has p2p program. They could dl directly also without it. But I see what Kyhi is saying now.
