Your situation could be due to two factors.

One, it sounds like the site you went to and paid for is one of those scam sites that charges people for what they actually can do for free. They may have sent you to a defective download.



Two, some virus scanners mistakenly identify uTorrent as a trojan/virus as one of the features that uTorrent uses is also used by some malwares. However that feature is also used by valid programs and the anti-virus is too stupid to distinguish between valid and invalid programs with the feature.
