Do you have proper exceptions set for uTorrent and it's directories in Nod32?

If you had some set before you're gonna need to make new ones after an update.

[jgt]

yes I have made the exceptiones, but I never had the exceptiones before and it worked fine.

I have added the exceptiones but it still freezes

[moogly]

Can you add Process Explorer log.

Select utorrent.exe and enable DLL mode (ctrl+D) in PE.
