try finding files with lower number of sources....the files you are acquiring are spam files spread by enemies of p2p

that shouldn't make any difference to what you are experiencing....you are just having the misfortune of choosing fake files...of course regular scanning with such programs is a good idea

In the search filter, choose 2 MB as the size filter so it filters out the spam files. Most spam is under 2,000 KB (2 MB). You will notice those Bill Clinton spam files are 134.4 KB in size. Though they come in various sizes. (click image sample to see larger view)
