Description of
BEARSHARE.EXE
Previous version of BearShare Free Version installed WhenU (or comparable) adware components. The user must agree to view ads, but this is still an "Adware" application and the WhenU components are not safe to have on your computer as they can slow down your surfing and bombard you with advertising. The current version of Bearshare installs a toolbar, URL search hook, and other components of dubious usefulness. A companion "applet" runs with BearShare that shows advertising and affiliate links to sponsors such a Hotbar.
Adware applications, toolbars and browser extensions may serve advertisements even while you are not surfing the Internet.
This application may serve various types of advertising, not limited to pop-up ads. |
