Unhappy ''PRANKED'' result listing...........

Since I installed Limewire I got many results which say that somebody (famous) is ''PRANKED'' or getting''PRANKED PHONE CALLS'' or many results inidicating phantom tracks and charts.
Another assortment of surely fake result listings include porn files and miscelaneous files.
All are wma. files.
All these result listing is approximately between 50 and 60% of the total of the listings I get from the central computers.
WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT?.ARE THE CENTRAL COMPUTERS SOMEHOW CRAZY?.
The worst part of it is that the abovementioned ''files'' appear in every search and bother me very much.What can I do?.Is there any way to filter all that trash?.
For your information I had the same problem in the Morpheus network which dissapeared at the beggining of this year.
Thank you for your answer.

you can filter keywords like (pranked) or wma but I dont know if all wma files are bad. or you can remove some or all your connections to

Tools > options > filters > keywords to filter out specific words.

What you should know about WMA Files

If you're using a version of LW older than 4.13, you can try the hostiles list as well. Check out this link for more info.

thanks birdy when I first got limewire I was downloading files and I was getting a lot of files that would open usually with my real player then my Internet explorer would open with porn ad's then another and another Id had problems stopping them real annoying I didn't know how to avoid them but I figured out on my own by trial and error now I look at the file size and all together just be very selective checking with bitzi to really helps now I havent had it happen for a long time.

Wink Sorry but I dont get it clear......

To Birdy and Michiwayne:
Sorry but I dont get it clear from what I read about how to get rid of all that pranked and phantom results.How to prevent them from appearing in every search and having to read them many times a day.
Cant you do anything better than filtering words?.
Are Limewire computers full of them or its simply a program which works from outside and was set by a hacker?.
Nevertheless thank you for your replies.

in limewire in the very top left corner click tools/options/filters/keywords then click add and type words like (WMA) or (pranked) or (kiddy/kiddie/ (pedo) and so on but watch out what you but in the keyword filter cause you might exclude files you want like just an example but say you keep getting bla bla bla musical and you filter out musical you be filtering out music not a good example but you get the idea.
