Default Potential Virus 134.4K

I checked the forums for this particular problem, I did see the sticky regarding viruses and I just wanted to point this particular problem out...whenever I do a search, the first result that pops up is the exact match with a high user count but the file is always small (134.4K to be exact) with no bit rate. It tries to place itself in a postion where you'll click to download and you have to be really careful to avoid these files. Just curious to see if anyone else is experiencing this phenomenom, or could it be one of the people I have pissed off globally playing with me (the paranoia theory), the RIAA, or what?

Who is doing it is not so important. The ways we have to solve this problem right now are to A) block the host (right click result->Block host) B) report it to Bitzi (right click result->advanced->Lookup file with Bitzi) C) some suggest sorting by file size (click the column header) so small files appear at the bottom
