Windows does not allow me to download the app cuz virus

Post by k2master »

I would like to install qBittorent app: https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html qBittorrent Windows x64 version 4.5.0.

After 100% percent, it does not allow me to download the app, it says the followings:
Failed - Our system found a virus

P.S. I have the same problem with other torrent app as well.

How could I solve this issue?

Interesting. I went on the link, used Chrome, and no errors for me. If you go into Downloads in Chrome (Press CTRL+J), you can allow the file to be kept. But it's weird you are getting this virus warning, nothing for me over here.

Somehow I manage to download the installer.exe.

C:\Program Files (x86)\qBittorrent\qbittorrent.exe -> Enter, Error message pop up
this operation failed because the file contains a virus or unwanted malware
(Crude translation)

Then I hit ok and qbittorrent.exe dissapear from the folder. Only the
  • translations folder
  • qbittorrent.pdb file
  • qt.conf file
  • uninst.exe file
remains in the C:\Program Files (x86)\qBittorrent folder.

What kind of antivirus do you use?
This whole process, even the installer... sounds suspicious.

There is nothing for qbt to "resolve." If you are downloading from a reliable source, like, HERE, it's a false positive. You simply have to override your AV and install the program.
