    Windows 10 unistalled qBittorrent and is now flagging all torrent clients as having viruses...


    I have Windows 10 Pro 19041.804 and I recently found out that Windows unistalled my current torrent client, qBittorrent. I tried to reinstall it but it flagged a virus and blocked the install, I tried uTorrent, BitTorrent, and Vuze, and they were all flagged with viruses and blocked. I'm 99% certain that not all of these clients that I'm downloading from the official sites can have viruses, including on all of the mirror servers, so I think it must Windows being a bit over zealous. How can I fix this issue safely so that I can torrent again? Any help is appreciated.

    best torrent client

    you need to have used 2 or more of these to be able to have a good/decent answer:
    1. qBittorrent
    2. Deluge
    3. Transmission

    • 1 of the sites said these 3 was the best ones
    • gooogle is filled with spam from the marketing ppl, cant find any good info (maybe you're better at this)

    1. which torrent client is easiest to use?
    2. what does it do better than the other torrent apps?
    3. what does it do that the other torrent apps does not?
    4. anything else informative + helpful

    good reliable links that answers the above 3 questions is good

    1 person here says 'deluge', no idea how reliable qBittorrent downloading only at half speed!?

    suspicious overhead with latest qbittorrent update

    I also use qbittorrent. Have updated yesterday to 3.3.7 and so far it works as the previous versions. This torrent client is much, much better than that ad infested utorrent.
