Default Fraudulent results

Good Morning From Texas. First, let me start off by saying "Howdy" and that I have been using Limewire for about 4 years now, happily.

My question is not really one that I think any of you can answer, so much as just a point for the development community to ponder upon.

When you misspell a search query, and you have a few results come up with that 138.7 kb file size, could it be that people are using their incoming search results monitor, and renaming a virus file to match it? Surely this can be done easily enough with a script. If this is theoretically possible, why not simply remove the Monitor from the next build?

Just a thought on how we can make Limewire safer for users who can't figure out that a 138kb file isn't an MP3....
