i was trying out bear share and downloaded some songs to listen to,,but when i go back into my windows media player,it wont play any songs from my playlists,it says cant find file,i then went into microsoft help but when i put in the things they say in the search box and the run box nothing happens,,so i tried to do a system restore,using the dates available it wont do that either,,when i go into my music the songs are there,but how do i get them to play,,

Hi doug.

I'm sorry but The Rules specifically rule number 3 states,

 

No advice or help will be offered with regard to P2P (Peer to Peer, torrents etc) programs or software obtained via that medium unless a member specifically states that they require help on removing such software.

 

By now your system is probably totally infected with malware and file types hijacked too. P2P or peer to peer and torrents are a recipe for disaster as you now know.

 

I suggest you uninstall bearshare and all other P2P and torrents as well as delete all files obtained by such means.

 

After doing that you can hope for the best or perhaps reinstall Windows to clean up the mess.

 

If after uninstalling such programs and you wish to attempt a cleanup you should post in the Malware Infection Removal section.

 

If you do please take note of these instructions first.

Before posting for Malware Removal help.

 

I always ask everyone who dabbles in such if they have their Windows disks or recovery media handy because they may well need it to reinstall Windows. Do you have yours?

my fault i didnt read the rules sorry, i have indeed removed bear share,and would like my media player back,on reading your malware section ,it sounds like you need to be quite proficient on the computer to post logs etc,which im not,is there any checks i can do to see if i have a malware problem

thank you

No problem.

 

Go ahead and post in Malware. The experts will gently guide you. It might be very simple as all situations are different.

 

Good luck doug.
