BSOD with uTorrent?

[kikks]

hi all,
i have been experiencing a BSOD every time i leave utorrent to download overnight. i wake up in the morning and my system tells me that it shut down unexpectedly, and there is no improvement on my torrents. i am running avast antivirus and windows firewall, and utorrent 3.1.3.

win 7 came installed on my laptop
ive had my computer for about a month or so.
it performed a system restore once because i connected it to an external monitor while it was switched on.

the perfmon /report thing wouldnt let me click save as....what do i do?

It is never a good idea to run more than one active Malware app and this is the result. Please remove both Avast and McAffee and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials.

Avast can be a contributing cause of BSOD'S . Please remove and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST

i am not aware i have McAfee security insatlled? i uninstalled it when i got the laptop and installed Avast instead because it is a program i have used for years and never had a problem with on my desktop (running windows XP)

You do have McAfee, and while Avast worked well in XP on some win 7 machine it isnt stable. Thats why I recommended removing both AT LEAST TO TEST.

thanks for your help, im pretty sure my noob-ish questions get annoying...but how do i remove McAfee? i had removed it from my system via add and remove software but it seems that hasn't completely removed it from my system

They dont. Remember we were all noobs when we first came here. You use the in-install tool in my other post.

currently running a system scan (just in case) and will leave utorrent running overnight as a test. will report back tomorrow. thank you very much for your time

ps, uninstalling the antivirus software fixed a desktop gadgets problem that i had as well
