Never heard of that one, so it must be a counterfeit. Get rid of it, scan your
system for spyware and viruses, then try the one in this thread: BearShare has been sabotaged.

Also, make sure the "parental controls" part of the AOL software is turned off.
It tries to proxy all traffic in order to filter out stuff, and that will never be
able to work fast enough to keep up with BearShare.
