[qBittorrent 5.0.4] Suspicious background activity

[solarscream]

I have faced suspicious background activity exactly when I start any torrent (downloading or seeding) through qBittorrent 5.0.4.

My antivirus software always alerts me that it blocks attempts to IP address 45.84.0.200:44488. This IP is a virus source as per antivirus classification.

This alert appears time to time only when qBittorrent 5.0.4 is launched AND any torrent is active.

DHT is off.
