MAC is identifying uTorrent Web App as an malware and restricting me from opening it. Now, I don't care if uTorrent Web contains any malware, I just want to open and use it.
I'm using MacOS Catalina. Thus, can't use uTorrent app for mac, which is 32 bit. That is why I had to install the web app. I had some download in progress. So, I just want to open the uTorrent web app and continue with the download. Does anyone have any idea?

When an app fails to install because it hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer, it will appear in System Preferences > Security & Privacy, under the General tab. You need to click Open Anyway to confirm opening or installing the app.
If a second warning dialog appears, click Open:
From now on this app is saved as an exception to your security settings, so that in the future you may open it freely without any warning.

Oh, 'cmon, this just does not work for uTorrent Web. – artuska – 2020-02-22T16:29:27.247
-1, this must not be accepted as a right answer. – artuska – 2020-02-22T16:32:14.487
@artuska: You do understand that this worked for the poster, although more than a year ago. You would do better to mark it as "no longer working in 2020". – harrymc – 2020-02-22T16:41:03.567

None of the options above worked on Mac OS with Catalina:
I went to finder >> right click utorrent web >> select get info >> select override malware protection

"MAC is identifying uTorrent Web App as an malware" -- Try other BitTorret client, for example qbittorrent. Security should be the first concern.

1Look in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General tab. if uTorrent Web is listed, click "Open Anyway", and if a warning prompt appears click Open. – harrymc – 2020-01-27T19:40:22.053
1@harrymc worked. Provide your answer, I will mark it. Thank you so much. – AtanuCSE – 2020-01-27T19:44:26.453
