DO NOT BY BEARSHARE PRO!!!!

I mean it dont there is spyware bundled with the software they claim it doesnt. Have emailed support three times only got automated response with a new link to download bearshare pro still with spyware. They make out THERE IS NO BUNDLED SOFTWARE OF ANY KIND what a load of crap. They take your money and run no support and best of all NO REFUNDS surely this is illeagal.

BearShare Lite doesn't have spyware or bundled with any other nasties. Get it here http://www.filehippo.com/download_bearshare_lite/
Else, try another gnutella client program. But always get/start with the free version so you know what you're getting & can see if you like it or not.

Hi i did like the what the programme had to offer but the free version contained spyware the pro version claimed to have no spyware so i bought it so i did not have spyware on my system.
As soon as i downloaded the pro version my spyware detector found spyware whenusave now this is the software with the free version they state NO BUNDLED SOFTWARE OF ANY KIND WHEN YOU PAY FOR PRO what a lie.
I have even emailed them they sent me a link for the pro version and it contained spyware what a joke they took my $20 and ran.

To my understanding there's 3 versions of BearShare. Lite is the only one that doesn't have spyware. Spyware has been in pro for a few years now. There's discussions & disagreements with the BS programmer on this forum dating back a few years.
AaronWalkhouse would be the best one to give you advice about this issue. He drops in to the forum almost daily.

hi thanks for the advice but i tried your link for bearsharelite comp fround spyware again never mind have to find a network without spyware.

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.

hi thanks for myour advice ill try and delete those folders you mentioned and see if that works. I would like to mention that i did buy bearshare from the proper site.
Thanks for your help
