Alureon.DX virus after ThinkPoint Removal

Hello.

I see that you are running BearShare.
P2P(Peer to peer) applications are designed to help you easily share and distribute files between you and a group of people. But they can also be used to distribute malware, and thus are not considered safe.
The removal of these programs is optional, but highly recommended.

Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs.

BearShare
BearShare MediaBar
MediaBar
Viewpoint Media Player

Thanks for your help. I will purchase the Tips and Tricks book, hopefully it will help me avoid these situations again. Have a great Holiday season.
