No. BitTorrent is a software used to distribute large files with ease via a peer to peer system that breaks large files down into parts. The trick is, much of what bit torrent is used for is illegal. The download of movies, games, et cetera. Some files may be posted to bit torrent that a filled with viruses and spyware. I have never personally heard of a client installing spyware, but it could plausibly be true for some clients. If you know your tracker is solid and the files you're getting won't be corrupt, you should be fine. It's like so many other things in this world that can be used legally and illegally.
