Subject: Re: Bearshare --->spyware fix

Bearshare is known spyware, if you install everything that comes with it.
You have the opportunity to opt out and not install the stuff with the spyware.
I have no interest in whether anyone uses Bearshare or not, but I don't think
it automatically installs any spyware without your knowledge. They ask for
support to keep the product free.

Everyone should download a copy of ad aware, which is free, to check their
windows system and see what spyware exists and eradicate it. Even if you're
careful things still creep in there.

You'll be glad you did.
