pbking,
Hi , and welcome to
Malware RemovalBefore We Start, Some Notes On This ProcessDuring this repair, we may need to remove some obsolete programs, and some which interfere with our tools.
We will install replacements later.
Please do not install or uninstall any programs, or scan with anything, unless I ask, until we are through cleaning.
Also, please be aware that removing Malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking.
I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However, it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between your computer software and the tools we'll use to clear you of infection, so I cannot
guarantee the safety of your system.
It is not likely, but possible, that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate taking your computer to a repair shop.
Because of this, I advise you to backup any important personal files to some external media, like a USB flash or CD, before we start.
The problem is not just with Bearshare, but all of the P2P programs, like utorrent, Streamtorrent, etc.....
If you don't
get it soon, no one will be able or willing to help you.
-----------------------------------------------Please Note Our Policy on the Use of P2P (Person to Person / Peer to Peer) file sharing programsIt is posted here:
http://malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=491394#p491394As a condition of receiving our help, I have included the P2P program
utorrent and Streamtorrent in the removal instructions below, so we are not wasting our time.
If you have used this, and your computer is infected, you can be fairly confident this is a principal reason.It's really important, if you value your PC at all, to stay away from P2P file sharing programs, like
utorrent, Bittorrent, Azureus, Frostwire, Vuze, Shareaza, Bitlord.
(Limewire has been shut down by the courts).
Criminals have "planted" thousands upon thousands of infections in the "free" shared files.
Virtually all of these recent infections will compromise your Security, and some can turn your machine into a useless "doorstop".
