Bearshare is one of dozens of file sharing apps out there that contains
adware and spyware. If it's not a false reading and actually on your
system, depending on which version you have, it could be the 180 Solutions
spyware, When U, New Dot Net, or Quick Search Bar.

Uninstall Bearshare, but let who ever in your family is using it know
first in case they may need to save some files that might be in the
bearshare directory. Then you will probably need some anti-spyware
programs to get rid of what's left.
You can start with the free ones, Spybot Search and Destroy and AdAware, but
you may need manual surgery to get rid of the crap that 180 Solutions and
When U dole out.
