What is this? uTorrent trying to save file

[madfknmike]

Hi!

 

This window pops up everytime I open, close or click anything anywhere in uTorrent.

It's in Swedish, it asks if I want to open or save this file "blank.htm"

 

This started to happen a couple of days ago.

After that, my system has become very unresponsive and hangs alot, even though its a fresh install.

 

Ill attach a screenie of the window in question.

 

Is this a virus or what?

 

Thanks,

I think it's trying to show an ad, but instead of being shown inside the software placeholder it's intercepted by Firefox.

You should disable everything ad-related (take a look here http://forum.utorrent.com/topic/81421-321-how-to-turn-off-ads-except-for-the-silly-upgrade-banner/)

I am having this problem too. I have uTorrent 3.4.2 (build 32239) [32-bit] installed on windows embedded 7 standard. It does not do this to me on a regular windows installation. I need to stop this webpage from openeing its ruining my HTPC. All ad/offer/sponser settings in advanced are disabled and it still pops on start up

I would also like to add that I am having this issue too. I have tried everything under the sun and cannot get rid of it!

Surely someone has some information on this problem!?

For anyone interested, I fixed this by installing Internet explorer via Windows Features! Give it ago if you are having the same problem and didn't install IE when you installed Windows.
