Default own files show in my search, how to fix?

When I do searches, my own files show up in the search results (from my shared folders). Is there a way to fix it so that my own files don't show up in my own search?

I have Limewire Pro 4.8.1, am on a Mac.

How do you know they are your files from your own computer? Some people may have just uploaded them recently.

When I click on the files, and choose "browse host," it's my IP.

RoseDead has an odd question .. can't answer that for the minute!

jaebaeli's question is easier. In normal use it would be pointless to see your own share in LW for fairly obvious reasons (to me at any rate). However if you go to direct connect on the search page of Limewire and type in your own ip no. ....that will become obvious when you get there, you Should be able to see your share as other LW users see it. If this doesn't work try again after a few minutes. It usually works for me, but once did not.
