uTorrent makes my laptop freeze..running Windows 7

[glowstix]

Only recently have I had the problem that when I run uTorrent, after a while the screen will freeze and I have to force a restart. I'm running Windows 7, and my HJT log is posted below, if it of any help:

It seems like it was one particular torrent that was causing the program and thus the computer to freeze up. It's been fine once I deleted that torrent, so consider this solved

[GTHK]

Till it happens again

[sauvageon]

i'm using smart security who's knowing to cause problems... but even if i disable fire wall and protection the pc freeze...

just to say that i have edit a hijackthis log on a another website... it's seems that i don't have malware or whatelse...

[Firon]

Try uninstalling Smart Security. Disabling doesn't work.
