Do a Google search "remove bearshare" (including quotation marks). -This is a real mess and involves editing the registry. -If you do not know what you are doing, DO NOT DO IT! -Get help from someone who is familiar with registry editing. -And backup all registry keys before deleting them. -You can completely disable your system if you do something wrong in the registry.
