However I am still getting the message.Could someone tell me what might be the problem?Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackimist Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 . . .Are you Downloading?Uploading or Force Rechecking?Anyway I think it is not about your ANTI-VIRUS. . .it can be from your drives either from(Internal or External)Drives. . .Try these first RUN Command Prompt(AKA "CMD")Then type CHKDSK Then the letter of your drive for example CHKDSK X:That will locate bad sectors and recover readable information. . .to auto fix these errors type these instead CHKDSK X: /F It will automatically fix errors for you. . .In short open CMD type CHKDSK X: /FX: Can be any letter it depends on your drive letterCheers ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Did you double-check the security properties on your downloads folder to make sure your user account has full control over it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonboyperth Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi,Thank you for responding.To 'hackimist'.....I have tried to do what you said but it says "Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges.....You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode."To 'DreadWingKnight'....No I didn't check the security properties but have done now that you mention it. Firstly, it seems that I am unable to make any changes and, secondly, I have no idea what the setting SHOULD be and hence wouldn't want to make changes anyway.I hope you guys can offer some more help.

Mac-the-Knife Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Sounds to me like you are trying to run uTorrent on someone elses computer and they aren't allowing you access to it. Is it your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Mac, the issue this user is having is relating to permissions issues indirectly caused by user access control on vista and 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
