Default File "popups"

Hi.

Occasionally when I search for music I get 0 hits real hits, but instead about 12 that state exactly what I hit under search. With some additions.

An example (last file I did that did this):

Edit
Edit (AWESOME!!!!)
Edit (the real thing!)
Edit (please share!!!)

-- It will just repeat those messages 4 times under the list, what are these, are these actually music? I haven't tried to download one since I fear it might be a virus or something like the porn dialer such as the other person is dealing with. Also the files seem too small for music, they are either in 19k or 302k bits.

Anyone else have this problem or is it just me?
(maybe you could try to type in something, such as what I typed up there and see if you get it??)

Sorry for random question but just curious.

Those files are from a well known spammer! go to option/filter
and add the following IP in Filter Host section at top 38... (3 dots after 38) there might be other spammers as well. the files are just crap either contains links to various places or have so called Dialers in them especially the around 300 k size one, so dont run any of that.

If files still pops up with those parenteses after the filter setting then try to download any of those files, but be quick to take note about their IP adress, quickly delete those files again, then add the new IP adress to the Filter.

Thank you very much for that reply, very informative.

So I added:
38...

Are there any other IP's I/(others) should know about to block?
