Poorly designed software, can cause excessive TCP connections which contributes to network issues. No GUI to configure from what I can tell. Probably not malicious, but if you don't know what it is, get rid of it.

Is installed with bittorrent but not necessary to run bittorrent. Looks as if it helps mainly the content providers. I see no value for me in it. De-Install

ASUS installs this bittorrent downloader when you download drivers from the official Asus website using their own downloader tool, DNA. It has no option to disable automatic loading of it with Windows, once use have used it, you can "uninstall" only by removing it from the applications startup list by hand. It is not dangerous, but can slow down your internet with the 7/24 uploading it offers in the background. One more negative: no icon is showed on the taskbar when it is running.

It seems to be used by asus online storage for uploading your files also they offer P2P download for software updates. If it's hanging online it can be vulnerability.

This is part of the bittorrent application, i found that even after uninstalling Bittorrent, BtDNA.EXE would still appear in my Proccess list. I would reccomend removal if you don't use Bittorrent, but it's no big threat (Takes up alot of CPU)
