Since I dare not use Google to discover their meanings, does anyone here know what Bearshare, Winmx, and Lime wire are?

They are file sharing programs that allow folks to connect to other computers and share with them - primarily music files. There are so many viruses passed along via these programs (mainly embedded in the shared files) that it is a wonder folks still use them.

Bearshare and Lime Wire are file sharing programs in the Napster vein. I am not familiar with Winmx.

Let me help: These are all sex terms. You take your Limewire and put it in the woman's Winmx, and this act is known as Bearsharing.

Bearshare is a file sharing program. I used it for a while and it really gummed up my computer.

It took weeks to clean out the viruses, malware, and spybots.

Weren't they the three guys who walked through the furnace and weren't burned?
