[...] Avast detecta como troyano a uTorrent Muchos usuarios del mÃ¡s popular cliente torrent y a la par usuarios del antivirus gratuito Avast se veÃan sorprendidos porque Ã©ste lanzaba el falso positivo de catalogar a uTorrent como troyano de la categorÃa Win32-Poison-DU (Trj). Evidentemente dicho mensaje estÃ¡ muy lejos de la realizadad y los desarrolladores de uTorrent comunicaron a torrentfreak que se trata de un falso positivo de dicho antivirus y que uTorrent estÃ¡ lÃmpio y es seguro. Â En un principio la versiÃ³n de uTorrent afectada por dicho mensaje ha sido la 1.7.7. y afectÃ³ a muchos usuarios. Los desarrolladores comunicaron a Avast! el falso positivo y en menos de 5 horas estuvo corregido. El mensaje lanzado por Avast!, lo mostramos a continuaciÃ³n: Indudablemente este tipo de mensajes perjudican notoriamente a un programa, ya que se suele hacer caso a estos mensajes y genera desconfianza sobre el software que da el mensaje. AsÃ mismo, no cabe desconfiar el funcionamiento de Avast! ya que sigue tratÃ¡ndose de uno de los mejores antivirus gratuitos que hay en este gremio. En resumidas cuentas, si os habÃ©is visto afectados por dicho mensaje, no os preocupÃ©is y seguid usando tranquilamente uTorrent ya que es perfectamente seguroy estÃ¡ lÃmpio.

avast – sucks hard

AVG – f=-ound my keylogger , medium resources , and blah blah .. it rocks.[/quote]

You’re reasoning for Avast! is vastly descriptive… In my experience, Avast! is the only AV client that can be effectively used as active protection, as it’s resource requirements are very minimal. Never had any false positives with it, never had anything get by it.

I’d like to see the system you run AVG on… I’ve tried AVG on several systems, and it can make a dual-core with 2GB RAM crawl…

this may be the work of the aa’s since to the aa’s utorrent is a piracy tool and it is possible that avast is reading an older virus revived in a legit file.

remember the sony cd copy protection bit?

in the sony cd copy protection a file was written that masked it’s self as a cd rom driver and attempting to remove it disabled the drive or something like it.

well it looks like the aa’s may be up to a similar trick by they released a virus a while back and called it by the same name as one of the dll’s or something from the utorrrent resources praying on user’s fears in hopes that anti virus programs will delete the program in an attempt to stop piracy.

Why is it always Ernesto who blows unprocessed sugar up uTorrents ass?
Reference: http://torrentfreak.com/p2p-statistics-080426/

Something is wacky with this guy. First he argues: “obviously uTorrent is the most popular Bittorrent Client”

now he says: “Of course, there is nothing wrong with uTorrent.”

Angain without any proof whatsoever. In case you want to create a Torjan Horse without given proof that you did, you simply introduce a vulnerability that allows a 3rd party to get information useable in a court of what you have on your computer :)

Please Ernesto, you are getting more and more ridiculous. You didn’t question once if there may be a problem. I cannot believe this is happening.

TorrentFreak is infiltrated by RIAA and the movie industry?
