Hello!
These files are just spamfiles overflooding the network.Usually they are files that when launched will launch your browser and take you to a porn site which will overflood you with popups and.The way it works is that some companys (maybe the RIAA) have hosts out there on Gnutella that scripts a respond to your query and matches the file name with the search string that you used so it does not mather what you are searching for it will send you a query hit always with the familiar attachment like Awesome. The purpose of all this is to anoy users like you and other Gnutella users and also to increase the traffic on Gnutella making it less efficent.They have the hope that not very knowledgable users out there will keep such downloaded files in their Shared directory resulting in QueryHits that is not genuine and eventually the search result received will have more fake hits then qenuine. They have already succeeded in doing so when it comes to rare files. And their dreams is to totaly collapse the network. Whenever you come across them just block the host that shares them. I think that the next version of LW will have a Block Host button to make it easy. But for now you have to manually do it from LW's preferences (Tools>Options>Filters>Hosts). And under Filter Hosts you can add the IP addresses to the hosts that are spamming.
