Version: BearShare 8.1
Pros: Was somewhat OK finding music....but not a lot of FREE songs after you have it for a few weeks. The number of songs it finds, gets smaller.
Cons: IMPOSSIBLE TO DELETE FROM MY COMPUTER....TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE....AND IT KEEPS TRYING TO SWITCH TO IT'S OWN BROSER. VERY ANNOYING. I WROTE TO CUSTOMER SUPPORT TWICE TO ASK HOW I REMOVE THE PROGRAM, BUT NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. NOT WORTH THE HASSLE.
Summary: IT CAN'T BE DELETED....AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT IGNORES MY REQUESTS FOR HELP AS THEY DON'T WANT IT DELETED. JUST TERRIBLE SERVICE AND ALMOST LIKE A VIRUS.
