Angry Mysterious "!-!" file

Who is the culprit? There is this irritating and problem-causing file on someone's shared list. This thing (shows up like "!-!") is posted across all file types, therefore showing up in a great deal of searches. Folks are downloading this thing by accident or out of curiosity and causing it to spread like a venereal disease. This is bad. I have tried to get the ICQ of the dude(tte) that is sharing this thing, but because of my download speed, the address appears and disappears in the blink of an eye (the pesky file is usually only about 19kb). Of course, the culprit's chat is disabled, as his/her brain may be. Is there a place to complain? It is tough enough when people put garbage out there (poor quality, inoperable/unopenable files--not the content), but this thing seems to be increasing and showing up in more and more searches. For some reason, this thing shows up in searches for just about anything. It's late, I'm tired. If anyone can help, let me know.
