Avast says "suspicious item has been detected"

[tunezz]

When trying to download a torrent. What's up with that?

[JackDog]

Are there any files in the torrent besides the normal ones, like a .pdf or something like that? I've had something like this happen to me with Avast a few times in the past and that's usually the reason.

we'd need more info, which show are you trying to download? is it the .torrent file itself, or one of the files in the shows folder?
