Hi!
I just installed Qbittorrent on my PC but it isn´t working. All downloads are stuck at zero, even though there are plenty of seeds for them.
I´ve already changed the Windows Firewall settings so I´m assuming I should do the same with the Avast Settings. But I don´t know what to do and I´m afraid I might cause some harm to my PC.
Anybody having similar problems?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Use of this is frowned upon by several parties. It may not only be avast, but due to existing P2P-threats.
As for why Malwarebytes blocked QBitTorrent, this is because QBitTorrent, and all Bittorrent software, are what are known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications meaning it connects to many different servers/IP addresses (this is how files are downloaded through QBitTorrent) and because of this, sometimes QBitTorrent will connect to a server that is also known for hosting malicious content.

Simply put, when you play with fire, you get burned.
Using a service like QbitTorrent is playing with fire.
Since it’s Avast’s job to keep you safe, blocking it’s use
means Avast is doing it’s job.
