If you could state which version of uTorrent for Mac you are using, we can sort this out together. My advice is update to the 1.

Next, filter for uTorrent. When normally starting up, you should or may see something like this:. There is also an error that appears. Past about 10 lines of messages: they should indicate errors if anything is going wrong. Hey thanks for the reply. Unfortunately going through the firewall part of your explanation didn't yield much success.

I'm currently running Version 1. So I updated to the beta 1. Where do I go from here? Oh dear, you will have to contact a member of the dev team with that error message. One thing you should check is that uTorrent is downloading to the correct folder and that there is enough space on the drive.

Other then that, I cannot help you with that BT error. I figured out what the problem was. The drive was the problem and I have that fixed now. But on a side note, thanks for considering Avast!

Thai Pepper. When I powered up the affected system StopSign quickly downloaded and applied the custom cure, which thoroughly wiped out the threat. Overall, though, StopSign detected just 62 percent of the sample threats, the second lowest detection rate among commercial products.

Ad-Aware Pro Internet Security 9. Of those threats it did manage to detect, StopSign left behind many malware traces and executable files. A few detected threats were visibly running after their supposed removal. Its 4. Spyware Doctor with 7. I give less weight to a separate test using commercial keyloggers in place of actual malware, since some vendors opt not to detect these as malicious.

StopSign detected just 21 percent of them and scored 1. I break out a separate rootkit removal score based on samples from both the malware and keylogger collections that use rootkit technology. Here, too, StopSign landed at the bottom, detecting 33 percent of the rootkits and scoring 1. Over half of the current products detected every single rootkit. Spyware Doctor was most effective at removing them, with 9.

Ironically, the one category in which StopSign scored nearer to the middle than the bottom was removal of scareware. It detected 63 percent of the scareware samples and cleaned up their traces fairly effectively, earning 5. However, Ad-Aware Pro managed 8. StopSign Internet Security 1. StopSign is definitely not scareware itself.

I'm satisfied that it doesn't offer any false results and that it's actually aimed at removing malware. It's just not very good at that task. Ineffective Real-Time Protection As mentioned earlier, after activating StopSign you don't get real-time protection against new malware attacks until you download and enable the "On-Access Scan" feature. I did that for all of the test systems. The real-time protection feature in most modern antivirus products scans files on any kind of access, even the minimal access that occurs when Windows Explorer displays the file's details.

StopSign's protection, while it's named "On-Access Scan," actually doesn't scan a program until it tries to launch. StopSign also scans all downloaded files. I tested this feature by trying to download all of my current samples from their original URLs.

Of those that were still available, StopSign blocked 30 percent on completion of the download. Between blocking malicious sites and blocking downloads, it kept 87 percent of the threats from reaching my test system.

Next I launched pre-downloaded instances of all the malware samples. Execution guard caught about 70 percent of the threats either immediately upon launch of the installer or upon launch of an installed component. StopSign needed a multi-step mini-scan to wipe out threats detected by its real-time protection. It asked whether to cure the found threat and then asked for a second confirmation. In some cases, on completing the mini-scan it asked how to handle the threat and then asked for confirmation of my choice.

Finally it reported success and separately displayed detailed statistics.
