Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Suspicious File

I'm running Bear Share Lite ver# 5.2.1 on Win XP
I've noticed in the "Downloads" section along with the files I'm searching for is a search in red font: BSInstall5.2.5.1.exe and it's searching
I've run my spyware programs and anti virus scans on it with no luck.
I searched it in Google and it seems suspicious.
I've deleted this item several times but it keeps reappearing. it's acting VERY much like a virus or trogen?
Please respond ASAP as I would hate to delete Bear Share but I will if the overall health of my computer is at stake?
Thanks ........ Dave

its just the auto update thing that version does occasionally...

skip that sucker....uninstall it, and install the beta version detailed here: BearShare has been sabotaged.

follow the intructions and use the bearstart utility to get it running..force it into UP mode, and rock on!

Thanks Peerless:
If it only does it occasionally, why has it been there everytime I've been there in the past 3 days and I've never seen it untill very recently?
I'm also sorry but I don't want anything to do with "beta' programs. I'll leave those to you EXPERTS
And I have no clue what "Bearstart" utility is.
BTW I have discovered that the previous version # 4.7.0.83 seems to be ok with the exception of the flashing UPDATE thing lol
I guess I'm a little paranoid and things like this bother me.
Thanks VERY much for your rapid reply tho .... Dave

I saw the same thing once (also for a period of time) when using the same version of lite...bugged me too....kept on killing it, it kept on coming back..I am pretty sure that BearShare spreads its updates via the network, so that is what you are seeing..an attempt to download it (which since that is also expired, is impossible..lol0

AaronWalkhouse guided me on the proper path, as it were, and advised the expired beta version...it works like a charm...

the following excerpt is from the Technutopia forums:

To keep running the BearShare 5.1.20 beta forever (it works well here), just download the attached little proggy BearStart and set your BearShare shortcut to point to that. It sets the system date back to July 1st, 2005, starts the last version of BearShare installed, and then puts the system date back to the date it was before after a few seconds.

No ini files or registry mods - completely standalone. No installation - just unzip and run.
It reads the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\gnufile\shell \open\command" set up by the BearShare install program to find what to run.

so...just download the beta version and the besrstart utility, and use it d00d..it really blows the socks offa other things....just go into the configuration menu and force UltraPeer mode, and you will ROCK!

to do what is described above (set your BearShare shortcut to point to that) is kinda a pain..what i do is just directly use the BearStart.exe...since you are using xp, right click on the BearStart.exe and choose 'pin to start menu' and from that point on just go to Start>BearStart.exe to run the beta version...its a final beta, and as noted, ROCKS

I'm really not that adapt at using Bear. I'm very willing to learn any tips tho. I just don't want to take up so much of your time.
I have a fair knowledge of basic computer things JUST not this program.
I have no clue as to what you mean by: just go into the configuration menu and force UltraPeer mode, and you will ROCK!
I'll make a deal with you??? LOL
I'll try the new beta version if you send me a detailed tutorial of how to best configue it. I really do hope you have it handy so you can easily copy and paste it to me?
I appoligise for only coming here when I have a question or problem.
Thanks HUGE ....... Dave
