schnurlos Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Mainly a false positive.Some AV softwares need an update for their signatures to repair that, so it's not utorrents foul.Just search the forums for "false positive" and you'll find some examples for that.I'm using Avira and had that problem (twice up to now) too.

moogly Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Especially the AV from Yahoo! which is crappy. False positive, uT is 200% safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Assuming you've downloaded from a trusted source (read: utorrent.com), and your computer isn't already infected (in which case, who knows -- any already-present malware can infect newly downloaded executables if they wanted).
