Bellzemos Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hi, after the update to last (stable, I never install betas) version of uTorrent I have two entries in Windows 7 Firewall (first it was for UDP and TCP, not it's twice for each). Why is that so? Thanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreasvb Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 If they are in different locations, then it's not the same.You can have the same file name on a program but it's not good security-wise to treat every file with same name, that would be pretty easy to exploit. Some times you need to think logically, how/why is it doing like this? My guess is that you have one in %Appdata%\uTorrent\ and one somewhere else (use Task Manager and open its location to prove if it's correct).

Bellzemos Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I searched my HDD for uTorrent.exe and it found two different files. I tried running both and saw that the 1st on the list is the old version 3.3.0 and the second one is the new version 3.4.1 (which I'm using now). It seems that uTorrent didn't delete the old version as usually when updated. I checked the Inbound rules of Win7 firewall and all 4 entries are targeted at the new uTorrent (the one installed in ...AppData\Roaming... folder). None is targeted to the old uTorrent.exe. So what should I do, just delete/disable two entries from the Firewall control. And why did uTorrent create two rules (doubled)?Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreasvb Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 the old installation location was in Program Files, the new is in AppData.Just remove the old entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellzemos Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Deleting the old file from Program Files won't solve the double-rule in Win7 firewall: Why are there 4 entries instead of 2, that's what I'm wondering. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreasvb Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Might be different ports or so.Remove all rules for µTorrent then let it trigger them again, to get new, correct rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
