Bearshare attracts Viruses

[Neckername]

Bearshare's cookies attract trojans because I just left my broadband on without accessing any websites or downloads, i just turned on Bearshare. The next morning I had Virtumonde.dll and something called Windows.Settings.Changer (or something like it) that made it so I couldn't change my Background or resolution. I had all the processes off except for explorer.exe, and Bearshare.exe, I also made sure there were no other suspicious processes in the system processes as well.

Hello Neckername,

Why was Bearshare left running if unattended? There is no way of knowing the circumstances under which an infection could have entered the system.

If you would like someone to take a look at the system, please follow the procedure in this link:
