Dead frozen

[Ravenheart]

Put simply if I leave uTorrent working for an hour or so and then close it, it NEVER closes and stays on the process list. I've tried killing it with TaskManager, Process Explorer, I've tried sending it WM_DESTROY and WM_QUIT and WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION messages, I've tried using TerminateProcess() from the Win32 APIs, I've even tried using Unlocker to delete the .exe, hoping that it will manage to kill it somehow but no.

This bug has been in uTorrent 2.x in one form or another ever since it got released and it only happens to Win7 x64 users.

Needless to say I love uTorrent very much, but I've just about had it with having to restart my computer to get it working again.

Internet security software?

Advanced settings?

Nothing that hasn't already been said in other threads, its not NOD32 its not my firewall.

I heard it was associated somehow with Teredo and/or IPv6 not "hanging up" their connections that causes uTorrent to get stuck in memory in Win 7.

Wouldn't other applications that use the protocol also refuse to die, and this only happens after I leave UT running for a long period of time.

Anyway, I also tried using OpenProcess() to get full access to the process and then TerminateProcess() but still nothing. I also tried (using Process Explorer) to close all handles that uTorrent.exe had opened, all but 4 refused to die.

Event's description said that it was "A synchronization object".

IoCompetion's description said that it was "An asynchronous I/O notification object".

Maybe 2 minutes after I had killed everything but those 4 handles, Windows Security Center suddenly turned off and Win7 switched back to the Basic theme and my computer just crashed, no BSOD just a dark monitor and I had to turn it off and on. Keep in mind I didn't touch any handles belonging to other processes,
