Hi, I am new to this forum... and i have tried to find a solution to my problem in other forums and through google, but have had no luck. The problem that I am having is that uTorrent seems to slow my computer down and makes my computer lag while it is running...then when i exit out of uTorrent it still looks like its running in the task manager. I try to end the processes, but nothing happens. The only way I could get rid of it is if restart my computer. Now what I don't understand even further is that this just started happening recently, maybe for the past two months... and i have not really changed anything on my cpu since then. I am running Vista Home Premium 32bit, AVG 8.0 and ZoneAlarm; and uTorrent 1.8.1.12639. The only thing that I have changed was that I decreased the amount of processes that run when the computer is on by disabling some programs from starting up automatically under the Services folder. That's all that I have done. But my computer runs great with no lag and no problem, up until I run uTorrent, then that's when I start to get the system running slow and lagging...my cpu usage goes all the way up also. I would highly appreciate it if someone can help me with this problem, I know a little something about computers, but am not an expert by no means. Thank you in advance and hope you guys can help me out.

Alright I think I understand u somewhat...but wouldn't the malware be picked up by my antivirus? I'll follow the steps you told me too and get back to you. Thanks

Oh and are you also saying that I will never be able to use uTorrent? If so, then what other bit Torrent program should or can I use?

No if you use p2p and open files you downloaded you are potentially loading a piece of malware onto your PC every time. Having an anti-virus isn't going to be able to stop that if you run it yourself.

I would not recommend using p2p programs for illegal stuff if you want your PC to run properly.

how about you stop using utorrent, and start paying for stuff like the rest of us.
