![]() ![]() So it's not that.Ĭould you answer this also: Also ran Avast explorer scan on the restored file and it doesn't find anything wrong with the file. And I went even further, in "clean" VirtualBox Win8, I installed the same uTorrent version (I've a copy of all installers of the programs I use) there and again checked with "dir /r" command and there's no alternate data streams present. Still, I double checked from batch with "dir /r" command and there's no alternate data streams present. Like I wrote, the quarantined file, uTorrent.exe, was from install folder, it was not downloaded, nor it was auto-updated by uTorrent. Which finally brings us back to the real issue in this topic: The user comments in that article does not paint a pretty picture.Īlso, from the article: "Once it identifies something really fishy, it stops the action and reports the behavior to you, before any damage can be done." What's with that?ĮDIT2: Currently running uTorrent and downloading, Avast doesn't seem to mind it anymore? Weird. While at the same time, scanning in the Virus Chest always produces the IDP.Generic result. It's a properly signed file (BitTorrent Inc, sha256RSA) so I don't think that there's anything wrong with it.Īlso ran Avast explorer scan on the restored file and it doesn't find anything wrong with the file. So at least 50% of the shield settings do not work, dunno about the exclusions whether those work or not.ĮDIT: I restored the file from the Virus Chest and ran VirusTotal scan, here's the analysis. The reason I chose to try out the new Behavior Shield is that it offered an "always ask" setting. I've set the "Please define how you would like to deal with suspicious program behavior" to "always ask".ġ) So why was uTorrent.exe silently quarantined?Ģ) Is it normal that a file that was quarantined is left in the file system as empty/0 bytes? I gather that the IDP refers to the Behavior Shield. BUT, there it was, uTorrent.exe in Virus Chest, added on 23.4., with IDP.Generic as the cause. without my consent (I have only File System & Behavior Shields installed). I kind of panicked at what was going on in my computer, faulty HD, malware, etc.? Few minutes went and I remembered to check the Avast Virus Chest, though nothing should be there because I have set the Avast settings so that nothing gets cleaned/quarantined/etc. I checked the install folder (%APPDATA%\uTorrent\) and the uTorrent.exe file was 0 bytes. torrent file and it didn't open uTorrent client at all.
