I would suggest installing the ISA server portion of SBS and using ISA to filter out websites you don't want people to visit.
Hope this helps

Check which ports they are using to access the Gnutella network and block those ports. FYI, Bearshare is a spyware farm. They used to allow you to uninstall the included crap but you can no longer do that. If you have the latest version of bearshare, you are infected.
