uTorrent 'Not Responding' instantly for a long time

[ArchaeologicalMonstrosity]

Every time I load uTorrent (except for pre-1.8.1) and touch anything (open the program etc) it gets the 'uTorrent has stopped responding' error.

This will work after several minutes of waiting (2-10), but makes me wait that long before I can add torrent files.

Also, it is difficult to close because it's 'not responding'. Even taskman killing doesnt work after 50+ tries... just have to wait for that 2-10 minute window to pass. It works fine after the wait period, this also happened in the 1.9 alpha release.

CPU: Intel Core Series Processor (1728 MHz)

Are you using ZoneAlarm? If you are, uninstall that horrible piece of crap. Otherwise get these logs and paste them in your reply: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=29748

Thanks for your response, but I do not use antimalware/spyware/firewall other than Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. I have done a full virus scan as my computer is acting up, and nothing showed.

I am an advanced computer user, and quite aware on how to deal with viruses, I can usually fix them on my own, so I don't have a need for programs to do this for me and bog my computer down.

The uTorrent download light thing is green when I can use it, the port is enabled in Windows Firewall and my router.

Post a HijackThis log please.

I apologize for this not being helpful, but the problem resolved itself. I can no longer create an instance of lag with uTorrent. This is not the only problem randomly fixed. My most recent relative system activities are:

CCleaner (Somewhat likely, done after killing appdata/uTorrent and the uTorrent main prog)

Defrag

Reinstall uTorrent (Somewhat likely)

Reset/reconfigure Windows Firewall (Somewhat likely)

Malware scan (0 found)

Partition changes (Including installing WindowsXP as a secondary OS)

During all the hubbub, I seem to have fixed my strange (not found anywhere on google) problem in SecondLife also, which was that only Sculptures would not rez.

I hope I have given something useful back to the community, but I cant think of anything else to say. Hijackthis log will be posted shortly, if you find it will be of use. I will continue to monitor this thread to see if I may learn the source of the issue (it lasted several weeks).

----------------------------------------------

I have made minor altercations to the hijackthis log for my privacy. They are noticeable and will make no difference.

Try disabling routing and remote access service. This happen to me after I enabled this service. After again disabling the service utorrent went back to normal.
