Default 851.7k files are viruses and i know it =(

Yeah, just incase nobody knows this i got the virus and a SHARED folder keeps coming up sharing with 1000 randomly named files. what i did was just delete the files and stoped sharing my crap virus files randomly created and allso deleted the folder full of the 851.7k files.

Never had any problems after that! though it might still be lurking in my pc.

There are other spammed files too of diffrent sizes so dont open the repeted files with those low file sizes. THEY ARE MOSTLY ZIP FILES.

I suggest you do a few, full viruses scans to make sure your system is whiped. Its a repeated offender thats why its flooded and spread through Gnutella so quickly because new users are unware of it and are just not protecting their computer systems with Virus Programs.

you were looking for Photoshop 9 and downloaded a 851.7kb file?!

I'm not trying to be mean here, but you deserved what you got. Do you realize how BIG a file Photoshop 9 would be??

Here's a clue for some: If you're trying to download something like that, go by the official site and start the download for the free demo. That should give you a ballpark idea of the size file you might be looking for. As a matter of fact, look for something even bigger than that, as most demo files are missing features.

Let that be a starting point.
