Bearshare itself is not dangerous.

But if you got the ad-supported free version from bearshare.com, you´ll install some spy- or adware when installing bearshare.

To get a clean version go to www.bearshare.com/lite . Edit by LOTR: Go here to find BearShare: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/host-c...bearshare.html

Unfortunately microstore anti spyware will report a false positive for BearShare Lite. The link below may help clear this up.

this is not a reply but a question........ this is my first time on this site and someone explain all this to me?
1. What is Bear Share???
2. I have Lime Wire, how is that related to bear share?
3. How come when I put my e-mail address in Lime Wire it is not found?

Bearshare is a Windows gnutella client, like Limewire, Phex and others are.but Phex and Limewire are cross platform

Do you have Limewire Basic or Pro? How much did you pay for it? How long have you had it? You can check which version you have in Help or Limewire > about
