Joris Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hi, When I install Bittorrent, (download from your website). Norton antivirus warns me everytime for a trojan virus named: SONAR.AM.C!g1 information about the trojan virus: https://us.norton.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2016-110121-0547-99 Why you put a trojan virus in the bittorrent download? Can you remove it ? Otherwise I wouldn't use bittorrent anymore . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 " SONAR.AM.C!g1 is a heuristic detection " In short, it THINKS it's a virus but doesn't actually have conclusive evidence. I'd be more worried about you having norton installed than I would about the optional offers included in BitTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
