![]() I keep getting an error whenever i try any type of bearshare other than that sucky version 6. i get through all the installation, but when i get to Would you kile to run bearshare now?...Stuff begins to **** me off. Here's what it says "this program has been damaged, possibly by a bad sector of the hard drive or a virus. Please reinstall it" I scanned countless times, it worked for a damn good while after 6 came out and now....Ugh..Any tips? |

![]() BTW does AOL Security Center affect BearShare in the same way it affects LimeWire? For LW it misidentifies it & attempts to remove it. Perhaps Bearshare should be put on its 'safe list'!!! I believe AOL security uses Pestpatrol & it incorrectly identifies p2p programs as spyware even if they don't possess it. But then, I wouldn't be surprised if some BS versions do have it ... such as version 6. ![]() ![]() |

![]() Uninstall the AOL Security Center and then find the Pest Patrol folder in Program Files and delete that folder manually. After a reboot it should be safe, so go to the first post in this thread, download BearShare 5.1.0b25 and BearStart and install them into a brand new folder. |

![]() After you removed pest Patrol, did you make sure to reboot and delete the remnants? If not, it could have remained active and damaged your brand new install as it was in progress. In any case, you should completely delete the damaged BearShare folder before trying again. Sometimes installing over top of an existing folder fails to replace damaged files, particularly if the damaged files look newer to the installer program or if a buggy security program is still active and interfering. Another fellow came to Technutopia yesterday and succeeded with this same problem, so it is possible. Don't forget to uninstall that AOL Security Center and reboot if you didn't do that yet. It has been identified as a likely culprit too. |

![]() Hi, I installed the version in post 1 and BS connects great. Only trouble is the key expired thing. If I close BS and then open it again, the key expired pop up comes up. So I change my clock back to 01/07/05 and can then open BS. Once it's opened I change the date back to today's date and it runs ok. But this means that every time I want to open BS then I have to change the date back to '05 first and then back to '07 once it's opened. Is there a way around this so I don't have to keep switching the date? Thanks |
