How to Remove Bearshare

Bearshare is a peer-to-peer file sharing program that allows users to locate and download music, videos, pictures and other files over a network. It is not a malicious or dangerous program on its own, but through downloading and exchanging files, you could accidentally download a virus-infected file that can damage your computer. To remove Bearshare, you need to disable its running process and remove all system folders and supporting files.

Instructions

1. Press \"Ctrl+Alt+Delete\" on your keyboard to open the task manager. Click the \"Processes\" tab and highlight bsinstallit.exe, bearsh~1.exe, bearshare.exe and bsproinstall.exe. Click \"End Process\" to terminate their running processes.

2. Click \"Start,\" then click \"Control Panel.\" Double-click \"Add or Remove Programs\" on the control panel window. A new programs window will open.

3. Scroll down the programs window and click \"Bearshare.\" Click \"Remove,\" then click \"Yes\" to confirm the removal. The program will be uninstalled from your computer.

4. Click \"Start,\" then click \"Run.\" Type in \"regedit\" and hit \"Enter.\" This will bring you to the registry window.

5. Delete the following registry values and keys:<br />HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\clsid\\{905d0df2-3a0a-4d94-853c-54a12a745905}<br />HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\clsid\\{9f95f736-0f62-4214-a4b4-caa6738d4c07}<br />HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\gnufile<br />HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\typelib\\{905d0df2-3a0a-4d94-853c-54a12a745905}<br />HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\appevents\\eventlabels\\bearsharechatnotifymsg<br />HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\appevents\\schemes\\apps\\bearshare<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\bearshare<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\bearshare\\installdir<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\clsid\\{558ec983-bedb-9168-b2de-31dbf0ee543e}<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\ed2k<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\ed2k\\defaulticon<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\ed2k\\shell\\open\\command<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\ed2k\\shell\\open\\ddeexec<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\ed2k\\url protocol<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnu<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnu\\defaulticon<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnu\\shell\\open\\command<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnu\\url protocol<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnufile\\browserflags<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnufile\\editflags<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnufile\\shell\\open\\command<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnutella<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnutella\\defaulticon<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnutella\\shell\\open\\command<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnutella\\shell\\open\\ddeexec<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\classes\\gnutella\\url protocol<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\licenses\\{056b3cf0d9ab991e1}<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\licenses\\{i56b3cf0d9ab991e1}<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\magnet\\handlers\\bearshare<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\magnet\\handlers\\bearshare\\ddeapplication<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\magnet\\handlers\\bearshare\\ddetopic<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\magnet\\handlers\\bearshare\\defaulticon<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\magnet\\handlers\\bearshare\\description<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\magnet\\handlers\\bearshare\\shellexecute<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\magnet\\handlers\\bearshare\\type\\urn:bitprint<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\magnet\\handlers\\bearshare\\type\\urn:sha1<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\active setup\\installed components\\{5f95e1af-2620-4f15-bdf9-7fdce4607e17}<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\active setup\\installed components\\{5f95e1af-2620-4f15-bdf9-7fdce4607e17}\\componentid<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\active setup\\installed components\\{5f95e1af-2620-4f15-bdf9-7fdce4607e17}\\isinstalled<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\active setup\\installed components\\{5f95e1af-2620-4f15-bdf9-7fdce4607e17}\\locale<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\active setup\\installed components\\{5f95e1af-2620-4f15-bdf9-7fdce4607e17}\\version<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run\\bearshare<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\uninstall\\bearshare<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\uninstall\\bearshare\\displayicon<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\uninstall\\bearshare\\displayname<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\uninstall\\bearshare\\displayversion<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\uninstall\\bearshare\\helplink<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\uninstall\\bearshare\\publisher<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\uninstall\\bearshare\\uninstallstring<br />HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\uninstall\\bearshare\\urlinfoabout<br />HKEY_USERS\\.default\\appevents\\eventlabels\\bearsharechatnotifymsg<br />HKEY_USERS\\.default\\appevents\\schemes\\apps\\bearshare
