utorrent

When i open utorrent malwarebytes blocks all incoming data. how can i allow this program to work?

[AdvancedSetup]

Click the icon in the task tray and temporarily disable the Web blocking, but utorrent is quite risky in the first place and a good way to get infected.

Thank you. I realize the risk one of the reasons i got malwarebytes. I do use a private torrent site that is well policed

Hello roberts707

Although AdvancedSetup has clearly warned about the dangers. You may want to read this article from InfoWorld (though an old one) that illustrates perfectly the dangers of a poorly configured P2P program

Many of the programs come bundled with other unwanted programs, but even the ones free of any bundled software are not safe to use

Hi

You do realise that once you allow these program items in , you have fully negated the use of Malwarebytes on that site -

Once you turn off the real-time protection then it is only the antivirus protecting you and not Malwarebytes any more -

Thank You -

is this all or nothing ?  we can't get a trojan from outbound traffic, can we ?  we can't scan programs for malware ?  we can't block bad webpages ?  we couldn't get malware preinstalled on a brand new pc ?  to be perfectly safe, shouldn't we just turn our computers off and lock it in a room disconnected ?  the point is that we want to get some reasonable use from out programs and our network.  if i own a product that's been damaged, and can't get the cd replaced, a reasonable solution is to download it with utorrent.  i think utorrent is an awesome program.  so my options are either to use malwarebytes to protect me, or upgrade to a pprotected version of utorrent.

Hi:
 
Welcome.
 
The bad news: This topic is actually nearly 4 years old and based on an ancient version of MBAM.
 
The good news: MBAM version 2 now permits Web Exclusions for P2P and other processes that will still keep you safe.

And here are links to the MBAM 2.0 User Guide: Online and PDF -- it explains how to create the Web Exclusion for the P2P process.
 
Please uninstall your current version of MBAM and reinstall the latest build - MBAM Clean Removal Process 2x

ALSO, for additional information:
There is an FAQ Section here: Common Questions, Issues, and their Solutions
And there are many useful KB topics and videos at the helpdesk support page

 
 
Thank You,
