// I don't need assistance, just letting you guys know.

The installer for qBittorrent 4.3.9 gets flagged as PUP by Windows Defender and you need to manually allow it so the installer can be executed.

Some "Not tech-savy" people might dislike that, I know a few.

Have a great day.

Thanks for the heads up, we know, unfortunately. qBittorrent is not the only one, Microsoft started flagging other software too as PUA. (No explanation as far as I am aware.)

One of the MANY reasons Defender SUCKS (imho)! I turn that option off (as I do most in Defender). I use Comodo and turn the option off there too.
