Default Bogus Files Go Away!!!

Whenever I search for video or archives more than half of the results are bogus files which I assume are viruses of some sort. The reason I can tell is that they all the same bit size: mostly 202,477 and 768,605, all with different files names. I dont need Bitzi to figure this out. Does anyone have any ideas of how to block these types of results??? If there isn't a way then there should be in later bearshare versions. These types of files prevent quality results when searching. Any help would be appreciated....

Why not try arranging your search results by size. Click/double-click on the top of the size column heading & it should arrange by size. Then ignore those below a particular size such as below 50/100 MB which will end up at the bottom of the list.

Thanks. Yeah, have been doing this. But would be nice if you could avoid them in the first place.
