Can anybody explain more about the Spyware Save Now in Bear Share and exactly what it does?? What happens if you remove it?? Any recommendations for a better servent?</font>
To remove Savenow, Onflow and New.net you should use Ad-Aware from Lavasoft [lavasoft.de]. It will remove them and a lot of other crappy stuff, too. Hmm... What it does? Onflow is a sort of plug in to 'show enriched content', Savenow will advertise stuff to you (well, look at whenu.com), and New.new is a very questionable name space extender.

Beside all these issues (Spyware or not) I would still recommend Bearshare; using Adaware you could deal with the bundled software easily. And, as far as I know, it is possible since 2.2.4 to opt them out before installing. It is, in my opinion, still the best gnutella client.
