There is zero reason to use utorrent when qbittorrent is a libre version of it without the ads, cryptocurrency miners and other bundled malware, and none of those utorrent web or TRON aberrations. The company that owns utorrent should have died long ago and only lives on the ignorance of its users, we do not need those malware dealer parasites when we have user respecting alternatives. There are lots of open source quaity torrent downloaders. So, I agree with previous commentor.
Anyone using utoorent deserves malcious virus. I have been happily using qBittorrent on both Windows and Linux for years with zero problems of any kind. Anyone have an opinion about FLUD? I just ran it side by side with uTorrent and it blew uTorrent out of the water.
No longer want to use uTorrent because of many issues. I would flag if because people can use uTorrent remotely to download malicious software with out your permission. Use qbittorrent…the only stupid thing about that program is that the dev, for some idiotic reason, makes you unable to delete the file to recycle bin because…reasons.

Both uTorrent Classic -- the local version of uTorrent -- and uTorrent Web -- the new web-based solution -- and BitTorrent are flagged by multiple antivirus solutions at the time of writing.
Being flagged does not necessarily mean that a program is malicious or problematic; false positives happen but the likelihood is reduced when mainstream security solutions flag a program. What is being detected? Most engines list "PUA or potentially unwanted application" as the reason and that indicates some sort of software bundling or file dropping on user systems.
Whether that program has been offered as part of uTorrent's installation is unclear at this point. Downloading any copyrighted material for free is illegal. So downloading any copyrighted torrent is also illegal. Torrent programs in themselves are legal because they do not supply and content. How do I create a Process Monitor file? By Guest Serena Started 2 hours ago. So far uTorrent has been downloaded and installed over million times.
While there are many torrent client softwares, uTorrent is the most popular one out of all. Windows defender stops it running because it has a poor reputation. It is also mentioned that this application can also affect the quality of your computing experience. The BitTorrent Inc parent company of uTorrent is aware of this thing.
It seems like the uTorrent client was not only blocked on new installs, it was blocked on machines that were already running uTorrent. Most of all not all the uTorrent installs were flagged as malware.
So we believe there must one the windows defender definitions that would have caused this. Or probably one of those windows patch Tuesdays updates?.
Furthermore we submitted uTorrent executable to Virus Total site and you can see the results below.
