moogly Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 That's nothing to do with uTorrent but with your web browser and the folder where you save the downloads from the web.And make a search on your computer: utorrent.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phill1802 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Nothing found from the search,What has my web browser got to do with it?? bit confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 If you have downloaded utorrent.exe from the web (http://www.utorrent.com/downloads), the exe is inevitably stored somewhere on your computer. And a search with Windows Explorer should find the exe.Did you control in Program Files\uTorrent?Are you sure your antivirus didn't delete the exe because it has treated it like a possible threat (even if it's a false-positive)?

moogly Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Just make a new try, download uTorrent from http://www.utorrent.com/downloads and control if the exe is saved on your computer. If not, there are a good chance your AV puts the exe into quanrantine.Where do you save the downloads from the web? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phill1802 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I save it to the desktop?tried downloading again to a file in my documents but that didn't work either? Not sure what you mean by "control if the exe..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Just look at if the executable (utorrent.exe) is saved on your computer.What are your web browser and antivirus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
