Akion Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 Hey!This is a very strange thing, every time I download and install uTorrent it then after starting it deletes itself from the system.I just formatted my computer 2 days ago. And noticed this problem, I did have Nvidia Firewall and then I uninstalled it because some torrents did not download in a good speed.So now everytime I want to download or share something I have to download a new uTorrent.exe and then start it from that one. Since everytime it just deletes itself...How frustrating, could anyone tell me what to do on this one?
DreadWingKnight Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 you're not finding the exe in %programfiles%\utorrent ?
jewelisheaven Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 When you run uTorrent.exe does it ask to be installed? If it does, you should find it where DWKnight suggests... perhaps you didn't select the relevant options to create shortcuts?If you know about command arguments you can try running "path\to\utorrent.exe /PERFORMINSTALL 14" to see if that creates your shortcuts to the installed (\PROGRAM FILES\utorrent) directory.
Akion Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 Im not an idiot The file is gone after every launch. It's not to be found anywhere. And btw, this doesn't go into this forum but anyways, why when I try to launch some programs, they wont launch? Nothing happens after double clicking them? Also alot of programs I try to download, like Thunderbird.. After downloading, it says that the file is corrupted!? WTF? How is that possible?
jewelisheaven Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 ... You have a virus or other bad stuff. You want to run a real program like prevx coupled with something else to get rid of your OS madness. uT does not delete itself .. unless you run /UNINSTALL appended to the command line.
Akion Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 What is "prevx"?I just bought and installed AVG, will it fix the problem? And I just formatted and reinstalled... Hate windows...
jewelisheaven Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 prevx.com is a "real" scanner, heh. Many people use other scanners I use that one... If you already formatted, what did you install? Your registry is b0rke if double-click don't work... and uT deleting itself is definitely not a standard feature.
Akion Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 I've only installed normal programs, like mIRC and such. Does .net framwork have anything to do that programs won't start? I haven't installed it yet, going to do that later on today.---prevx free edition didn't find anything when the AVG found almost in all the .exe files i was starting a virus and then moved them to "virus vault"..
vermio Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Hey Akion.Don't let them drive you mad.I have the same problem with you.I also have avg installed. I guess the two progs don't cooperate well (ha ha).Thanks for us, there are other torrent clients, too...ps. the problem occurs in 1.7.7 as well.
DreadWingKnight Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Well I have avg installed and the two behave fine together on my system, so it's not that.You guys just have other nasties.
