Avast freezes utorrent

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hey guys,

I came over from Bitdefender free and decided to see how Avast is. I’ve heard a lot of reviews and it was great! However, it freezes utorrent whenever it’s open.

And the only way to resume utorrent is to restart. And if you wait for too long, it freezes again.
I’ve uninstalled Avast and it’s working normally again but I’m not too sure why Avast is causing issues to it.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
