It is free of spyware, and the one innocent adware
component can be safely deleted without affecting
BearShare.

The M$ antispyware false detection has been in there since
before M$ acquired it from Giant. It was a rogue entry
added by some activist with a personal axe to grind and this
error has never been corrected. Note that you could get it
to falsely label anything as spyware simply by copying it
into BearShare's temp folder.

You can safely set M$-AS to ignore anything associated with BearShare.
