Just what do Limewire think they are doing allowing some third party to muscle in on searches that have few results. I put in a search on my surname and found it was available as a html file and a mpg file. This was strange as it is almost unique and no other results turned up. I then entered other strange search words, and they had the same result, a html and mpg file turned up with the search name.

What you are encountering has nothing to do with Limewire. It does have to do with unscrupulous folks who match almost any search request returning bogus files that link to porn sites. I have encountered this on 5 different P2P clients, including Limewire. With Limewire you can set a filter to reject any results coming from a specific IP address. To do this go to Tools / Options / Filters / Hosts. . . in the window marked filter hosts enter the IP address of the offending site. From that point on no results will be returned from that specific address. There are several sources of these porn files so you can add them as they appear... this should greatly reduce if not completely stop this from occuring. Again this is NOT a Limewire issue... the Gnutella network is open to everyone which, as you have seen, has it's seedier side.
