Default fake files

Hi

I've noticed recently in Limewire, that whatever file I search for, results are returned, that turn out to be wither invalid jpgs, or more likely, some toolbar for internet explorer.

I know that a P2P programme is only as good as the files that are shared on it, but I am curious as to where these files com efrom. Some programme is returning these results, that do not exist - for example I can run a search for something that i KNOW should not return results (e.g. a random phrase), and always the same file list is returned.

Where do these files come from? Does Limewire make files up so it can return more results? I cant believe this is true, so there must be an intermediate programme involved.

Apologies for length, couldnt explain problem succinctly!

Hmm. No thread about fake servers, or fake search results? RomanHans General Mac OSX Support 9 July 15th, 2009 03:44 AM
