i downloaded bearshare music downloads, but it hijacked both of my google bars on internet explorer and on mozilla. i trie to do a restore point which did not work. then i used f8 to go into safe mode which did not work. i went into remove programs and got rid of it, but it still did not return the browsers. i did f8 and a bot scan and restore internet explore, but when i go to firefox, it turns on with a bearshare browser. i deleted it from the available browsers, but every time firefox comes on the bearshare browser is still there. i have to manually choose google at that point.
