Thank you so much peerless. I used your link and disabled a certain part of my MacAfee and it worked. It was a little tricky at first but it worked.
My last question is about preventing viruses while the part of MacAfee is disabled. Are there any files I should not download while I'm searching through bearshare? I don't want to get a virus, but you obviously need to have that one part disabled from MacAfee. Any advice on that? Also when I re-installed bearshare again and it finally worked I was prompted to block files with certain codes. Are there any that I should have blocked?
