There are a few spyware detector programs out there that
falsely detect "spyware" in BearShare. Don't be fooled by
any of them.
WhenU itself isn't even spyware but don't bother telling
that to those conmen. Their products depend on raising
alarms as frequently as possible and they obviously don't
care about false alarms. The people behind PestPatrol and
the Microsoft toy were warned about their false alarms
more than two years ago and to date they have done
nothing to correct their fraudulent behaviour.
In the light of such behaviour nobody should trust these
people with the security of their computers, no matter how
many positive reviews they managed to buy from various
websites and magazines for their faulty products
In any case, you can easily remove the WhenU ads by
deleting the Save or VVSN folders from Program Files any
time you want. BearShare will still run because Free Peers
decided long ago not to allow any ad components to
interfere with it.
If you downloaded "Pro" and something detected Whenu,
you either have one of those bogus spyware detectors or
you got your "Pro" from a scam site that has just stolen
your money. Get spyware detectors you can trust, such as
[Spybot Search and Destroy] and
[Ad-Aware]
and get rid of whatever you have now.
