The uTorrent is the most popular application for torrents. For quite some time now, we have noticed that the popular app uses its name to make money from ads, in-app as well as accompanying software offered during installation.
Of course there are many who disagree with the software decision to treasure using dubious quality in-app ads and software. Lastly, uTorrent seems to be found to be "harmful" by several security companies.
As reported by TorrentFreak, uTorrent is currently listed at black list at least six software vendors anti-virus, such as Symantec and ESET.
They scan the uTorrent.exe that they contain Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT, as well as the OpenCandy both referred to as "dangerous software."
There is no indication that the uTorrent application itself is malicious, and it appears that malware warnings are triggered by third-party software that accompanies the popular application.
But uTorrent has other problems to deal with, with Google reportedly blocking the app. The search company blocks various pages that contain uTorrent or other software from the developers of the application, stating that these pages "lead to malicious software without the user's consent.”
Google's Chrome browser also notes uTorrent as potentially harmful, and prevents users from downloading it.
