So I have a major problem with my torrents as something on my PC is deleting important files in them such as keygen's and the crack files to make a copy of software work. This happens as soon as I finish a download and the torrent starts to seed.This is really bugging me now and it may be an antivirus so heres my antivirus programs.
-Malwarebytes
-AVG
-Comodo
If you have had a similar experience or problem please let me know along with any solutions thx!
okay update killed MSE and spybot as they are both in the shadow of malwarebytes and AVG and they are not the issue.

You are right. What happens is that AntiVirus software will tend to analyze cracks and keygens as being viruses. A lot of times, these are false positives. To get your files downloaded properly, you will need to change the settings in AVG. Possibly Comodo too if you are using its anti-virus functionality.
I am unfamiliar with what settings you would need to alter in AVG. Look for something that monitors everything in real time, that might be it. Or see if there is a function to disable AVG temporarily while you download the keygen/crack and then try to find some way to make an exception for the file in AVG.
I should also stress, that you should be sure the file is safe. Green/Pink skull uploaders are a safe bet.

I'm not sure where to look inside AVG. Its either a heuristic setting or a real-time scanning setting. Those would be your best bet. Try disabling one or the other and see if that will let you download the file. Once you download the file, you might need to set AVG so that it doesn't try to automatically remove the file or prevent its running.

Aside from AVG being a bug ridden crock of shit. Your best bet is to make an exception for your downloads folder. See below:
