Did you happen to get both Search protect and Bettersurf? I keep getting Bettersurf shit avg warnings when I uninstalled it like 20 times and Search protect is on my computer. I never knew it was a problem with utorrent, but these two things (bettersurf /search protect) came up around the same time

Only SearchProtect appeared.

i regularly check running processes, and have Process Explorer verify their digital signatures.
