Dear
Bear share is a third party peer-2-peer s/w. I know it is useful to d/l any things like as movie, songs etc....
But, if ur machine is not secure, then your machine either be infected by virus or spyware activities.
It seems that your machine is infected, so take the backup of ur data, format it, then it will work.
Remeber before installing this u should install any anti-virus + anti-spyware prgs.

yup u better install a gud firewall and antivirus.BTW since u have sp2 it may be blocking bearshare from accesing the net so check in the firewall folder and check if its blocking bearshare......dis happened 2 me once
u have to allow bearshare to acces its network.......
i never used bearshare because it sucks i use ares its better and even searches are soo much faster...comapred to dumb old bearshare...
ANYWyays its ur choice so go ahead all da best!!
