I had downloaded BearShare and then uninstalled after not liking it. Then Bearsharesearch automatically became my home page instead of google. I have asked many questions on chat to get this out of my computer and nothing has been a success - I spoke to people at our network and they tried without success....I have tried to change home page like you say on your video and it still goes back to bearshare search - can you help me.
