Portable Devs need to see this

It has come to my attention that one of your Portable apps (uTorrent : https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/utorrent_portable) has a PUA file (Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) is a term used to describe applications that, while not malicious, are generally considered unsuitable for business networks. The major PUA classifications are: adware. dialer. non-malicious .) PUA's are considered malicious by most anti viruses and get automatically deleted when installed making the app unusable.. ps-love you guys

OpenCandy Not Used By uTorrent Portable

uTorrent includes OpenCandy within itself. This is accessed if you run uTorrent.exe directly to trigger installer mode. This mode is never used in the context of uTorrent Portable which ensures that a portable data file is present so installer mode is never triggered. Only 3 antivirus products will identify it as PUA and all can be bypassed easily: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/c6b35c2429cac1921621a446657a1078741ba...

If you want to use uTorrent, you'll have to live with this. If it is unacceptable to you, you can not use uTorrent. Only very old (and very insecure) versions of uTorrent do not contain this functionality.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
