Hi From BearShare Support! BearShare is free to download and we want to keep it that way! In order to cover the cost of our development team and servers, BearShare installation includes a completely optional toolbar with great added features. Your support of this will allow us to continue providing this product to you for FREE. We all like free stuff but sometimes the trade-off to support the work of others is too great. Unfortunately, this is our way of providing you a great software at no additional cost for you, but you can always decide between the 2 following options: 1. Install the software without the toolbar: If for any reason you don't want to use the powerful toolbar functionality, it is possible to install BearShare without the toolbar: during the installation choose, "Custom" installation, and uncheck the "Browser toolbar" checkbox. 2. Uninstall the toolbar: If you wish to uninstall the toolbar, please follow these simple instructions: http://support.bearshare.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/19/0/uninstall--install We hope you find this helpful!

Not a p2p desktop program! It's painfully obvious too. Did any of you calling this RIAA site a p2p virus laden program ever even use one? The story behind this site is this: Bearsheare was a popular p2p in 2000 it was full of anything you can think of. It's owners were sued and had to give over the assists to RIAA they own the name and turned it into a music site. If you don't know who the RIAA is or why a music site from them is safe, you owe it to the users who even know anything, to never review anything on this site again.
