Matt is right to some extint.Bearshare does not use the P2P Networking adware plugin.Savenow and When U are basic Adware that come with the free version of BearShare.You can chose not to share files or partial files helping your computer speed and security.Simply delete the whenu/save now program files then try to uninstall the adware you allowed to be installed.Bearshare opens doors to Alexia related risk and many files for download are infected with worms or other variants.Youse a Good defense and never open files till you scan them with 1 or 2 residents such as AVG or Norton.
