Default impossible files

Anyone have any info on this.
I badly mis-spelled a search and still got 2 hits. Curious I tried other gibberish words and still got the same hits!!
File sizes the same and a Bitzi look-up seems to suggest different names but all marked misleading/dangerous.
I tried my own usernames from other forums and several friends actual naes - yes, you guessed it, same files came up.
Now, how can there be files with a random-input name (it works every time provided you don't put too any letters in) unless it's something that's actually IN Limewire (either on purpose or a bug).
Always either a jpg 38kb or a wmv of 106.7 (I haven't tried to download them to see what they are - I'm not that green)
Just like to know the answer.

Doh! Please have a look around the forums BEFORE you post! Yes there is a spam device htat replicates every search on p2p & returns results in wmv, jpeg & exe files. The answer is to filter out these results befoe they happen. Go to Tools>Options>Keywords & add .wmv. jpg, & exe & these will no longer appear in your search results. These filter words can be added or removed anytime! Just make sure you use the Apply button! For more info on who it is ding the spam well some originate from ... see here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...3195#post93195

My sincere apologies. I tried a few forum searches but got no results - obviously didn't use the right keywords. I should have read through some of them as well.
I also apologise for the lack of details in my post (system, client etc). I will try and do better the next time. Although this is my first post to this forum, I am on other forums and should have known better. Sorry.
Many thanks for your concise reply an patience , it is appreciated.

Your appreciation & understanding greatly appreciated. It is always difficult coming to a new forum for the 1st time. Particularly one that has many sub-sections.
