I'm afraid that's a bad idea, sir. There is no need whatsoever for a bittorrent client to have an AV software integrated and qBt should stay away from bloat as much as possible. You know, a more complex system is less predictable than a less complex system therefore more unstable. Minimalism and simplicity make things perfect.

But, hey, you can always use a free AV solution (Panda Free, Avast, Bitdefender Free, Avira, AVG, 360 Total Security Essential... just to name a few) independently of qBt. Good luck!
