I always thought that was a Shareaza feature just wanting folks to be careful... I do not think that the program is examining a file in any way. I was in the IT group at a company for a while and I can't tell you how many folks would read a memo about not opening an unknown file... would turn around and do just that and then call complaining that their virus protection program kept popping up telling them they had a virus.... they could have cared less that they had a virus... they were annoyed that they were getting a pop-up telling them that the file was infected.... go figure.
