U torrent is your client programme.
It?s the thing that allows you to download torrents.

cheers guys, no not tried to unistallutorrent yet. thought i would ask on here first. i know utorrent is the client, but why is Malwarebytes flagging it up every 20 secs as malicious?

mick.

[smirnoff_rules]

its a false positive m8 , go into settings and add as an exception

[barrowmanandrew]

i dunno why its flagging it up,
but proberly you have it running and people are trying to leech from you.
for some reason malware is detecting this as unauthorised access.

it might be flagging the ip of one of the leechers as malicious, can you post a screenshot of the warning?

[wetdog]

proper dufus here, dont know how to do screenshots or how to post a pic.

box has the following information: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Succesfully blocked access to a potentialy malicious website 89.28.120.29

Type: outgoing
Port:40295
Process:utorrent

[smirnoff_rules]

change these settings

[barrowmanandrew]

i think its blocking leechers who are trying to download from you.

it must see them as a threat

[wetdog]

change these settings

cheers dude.

I would delete utorrent and reinstall it again. Should stop the problem.
get it from here ?Torrent - a (very) tiny BitTorrent client

[barrowmanandrew]

its proberly uthing, just do what smirnoff said and disable the warning balloons.
if its only one ip, just let malware block it

i had this prob i just exited the program bottom left of screen and it stopped it
