I managed to stop installation of bearshare which seemed to be bundled with some other software, but now it keeps asking to complete installation. Does anybody know how to remove this. Thanks a million

  • You could let the installation complete then remove it through Control Panel or, to be more thorough, use an uninstaller program such as ZSoft Uninstaller or Revo Uninstaller. You then wouldn't see any further prompts.

    Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
    Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN
    Remove everything thats found (needs to be ticked)
    Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds

    reboot
    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/2894/
    Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

    I had Bearshare installer on my computer in the same manner as Harpo1.
    I stopped the installation but the installer was still there. I deleted the Bearshare folder in Program files and that seems to have worked with no further problems.
    I left the Bearshare folder in the recycle bin for a few days, just to be sure all was well before finally deleting it.

    Probably that's not the best method...
