[Lord of the Rings]

It's easy for spammers to put any name to a file. They can automate it using BOTS. And feed back a virus file with the name that the user requests in their searches. That's a part of how these spammers work. Beware of Fake files in search results (click on blue link)

Below is a combination of junk files found in a few searches, take note of their sizes & treat them suspiciously. Remember to ignore most files under 2,000 KB (2MB) as well as the ones shown. The bitrate shown was for the first file in the tag. Spam generally has limited tag information if it has any. Audio files such as mp3's that do not show tags are generally (not always) spam. _ 5,611 KB, _ 3,787 KB, _ 3,462 KB _ are viruses so BEWARE !!! _ Who to blame for the viruses? See link above about Fake files in search results.
