Trouble Downloading

I got a Virus this past week that effected my Anti-virus software, I managed to get rid of it by uninstalling and reinstalling my anti-virus software and running a scan. But ever since then I've been having trouble downloading with standard Trackers private or public, I'm able to download with DHT.

Is there something I can do to fix this other then reformatting?
 
the infection that mcafee found was Dialer 182.. before I uninstalled it and reinstalled McAfee it would tell e my computer isn't fully protected so I would open mcafee and click the fix it button. That would only last a few minutes and I would have to click it again.
 
I understand. But you got rid of the virus, didn't you? But now you have trouble downloading. And the question is: how does this trouble manifest itsalf? Do you get an error on the torrent or it is just stuck? Do you appear connectable on the trackers? McAfee has a firewall? If yes, isn't it set to a too restrictive setting?
 
I checked my firewall settings and Utorrent has full access... when a new torrent is loaded from my Fav private tracker TVTorrents.com or TV-vault I check the tracker Status column and it's blank nothing there but I can see how many seed and peers are there, Now for the stuff that been on my machine a while seems to seed ok but the new torrents I get the blank status....In the update column it just says updating and nothing comes of it just stays like that with no change....

now with public tracker they sometimes seem to work and if they don't the status will be "Offline (timed out)" with the never ending updating....


I've check my connectible and everything there Checks out good
 
Are you on a home connection? Maybe your ISP is blocking you from downloading? Is strange if you did a AV scan and re-installed utorrent, is weird.
 
I've been using this ISP (AT&T U-Verse) for over a year now and this is the first time anything like this has happened... In addition to the virus I installed a free online game (Combat Arm) didn't care for it much so just got rid of it.... I was thinking maybe it did something to my connection settings for utorrent but I Duet I have a friend that plays that game and runs Utorrent on the same machine....

Silly me I got things working it ended up that I had way to many torrents active.... i guess you live and learn
