errb Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hey everyone I just recently installed Windows 10 on my laptop and now I can't download uTorrent from both Google Chrome and Firefox. If I try downloading the app from utorrent.com, Firefox throws me an error message saying:Blocked: May contain a virus or spyware. Same thing happens in Chrome:uTorrent.exe is malicious and Chrome has blocked it. I tried disabling antivirus software (I use Avast) but that didn't help. Eventually I was able to get uTorrent using Edge, but I was wondering what caused these messages. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksThis would require you contact those Browser support as utorrent has nothing to do with how their Browser works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

errb Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I understand that this was caused by the browser but I just find it odd that two very popular browsers blocked another very popular application. Yesterday I had asked my friend to test it (also Windows 10 + Firefox) and he said he got the same error message. Today everything seems to work fine. Not sure how but it seems like everything resolved by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
