    Windows Security thinks that uTorrent is a virus - False Positive?


    I wanted to install uTorrent so we can watch movies at our game night - something strange happened. At first it downloaded normally, but after it finished installing a notification from Windows Security said that what i installed was a virus. I got scared so i downloaded uTorrent from another provider. Same thing. So i just ran the program and it said i didn't had sufficient privileges I was administrator After i ran it again it disappeared and it said that the file doesn't exist. I downloaded it again and now its not allowing me. I did some research and apparently they said it was a false positive.
