But this doesn't seem to apply for windows users. Generally the way to see obvious fake results are you get many hundreds or thousands in your search results. A good place to look for tips is here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...load-help.html. Fake files come in different forms. Those that are hosted but undownloadable.
