Windows 10: uTorrent Installer won't open installation program

I have a problem installing 'utweb_installer' on my laptop. When I try opening it, the permission to make changes shows and I clicked YES then the 'extracting' pops out in less than a second and it closes. But there are no installation program comes out.


I tried UNBLOCK-ing the installer in properties but it still won't work. I tried running it as administrator but it won't either.


I think the problem is I have Windows 10.

uTorrent not installing.

Hi Bhavesh

Have you checked the list of installed Applications on your Start Menu to see if you can find Utorrent in that list?

If its not there, open File Explorer:

On the View ribbon, temporarily turn on 'Hidden Items'

Navigate to this folder to see if Utorrent is there (replace UserName)

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming

Is uTorrent really safe?

I just downloaded uTorrent from their official website. After installation, the .exe file downloaded and installed 2 programs automatically and started them up.

They were -

1. Opera browser
2. Avast free antivirus.

After installation of the torrent browser it automatically opened up the settings and tried to change my default browser!

I uninstalled them all along with uTorrent and did an antivirus scan where nothing was found.

Now, my question is, How and why did uTorrent downloaded and installed this programs without my permission and tried to change my settings?

Is it compromising our security and privacy?
