Don't download those! I believe they are porn scam files. When they show up, click on the triangle to see each file and their IP address. Go to the Tools menu and choose options. Then go to Filters and click the triangle to show another menu. Click on Hosts. Where it says Filter Hosts, enter the IP address for each file and click Add. Then click OK.

More will probably show up in searches. Keep filtering them and eventually they won't show up anymore.

These results are discussed elsewhere on these boards. They are a German porn dialler program. Do not download or use them.

Default the new user -virus

If after every search lately you get a response -Please Share!
378kb - and a few others go to hosts and filter him out using 38.144.198.150
Someone mentioned in a forum that it is a virus - and from a German porn -whatever the reason for its appearance it will be better for true limewire users to eliminate them when they appear. Hope this will filter it out.
Macs are probably better proteceted if it is a virus ,but i am not certain about that or if it is a virus. Its just quite annoying that it comes up on every query.

You have to filter all that you see. There's alot of them. Each time a new one comes up, filter that IP address.

Good luck.

Hey, all. I'm new here. Anyhow, I read that most Viruses don't even work on Macs, because they are PC-like thingys. And yes, thank you for that IP address, I havent seen those d/l's sinse.

I have the same "problem"; happy to hear that it's "just" porn.
How do I find out the IP number of the host, so I can Block them ?

On Mac, control-click on a column header (such as: Name, Quality, #, etc...) and a menu will pop up... click Location.

On PC: right-click on the column header...
