Quick Heal Antivirus may detect qBittorrent as malware and quarantine it for a few reasons:
- False Positive: Although qBittorrent is benign software, occasionally its operation—downloading files via torrents—leads to it being detected as dangerous. It might be wrongly recognized as a danger by antivirus software.
- Bundled applications: Your qBittorrent installation may be detected if it was downloaded from an unapproved or unreliable source and contains undesired or dangerous applications.
- Suspicious Activity: Peer-to-peer file sharing, or torrenting, exposes your system to potentially dangerous files, which is why antivirus software is extremely careful.
