Right,those of ye who use bearshare will know that to avail of their service you have to agree to getting random spam pop-ups from companies that have paid bearshare.

From the get go though these pop-ups only appeared when i launched IE (which i do once in a blue moon). This was grand, as i rarely used IE the pop-ups rarely bothered me. They NEVER appeared when i used Firefox.

In the last two days though, these little bastards have begun to randomly jump up down the corner, even when i havn't touched IE.

Has anyone else noticed this? Have those fiends found away to infect us via Firefox too?

I only get like one popup, and only when I open Bearshare. I have an old-ass version though, and I keep telling it to STFU and not download a new one.

Drop bearshare anyways, use torrents.
