I don't know what file size are they. Do a Bitzi look up on them

Martel Hi.
Add the word "pranked" to your word filter, careful what words you add, make
sure they wont be in searches you may want.
Peace.

Grandpa,
One example is "Steven Speilberg gets a hilarious prank phone call"
file size 3325kb
file type = wma

Another is "David_Letterman_get_Pranked "
file size 1193 kb
file type = wma

another is "Bill_Gates_get_pranked"
file size 1416 kb
file type= wma

These are surfacing but I'm using none of those words to search.

Bitzi search gave me server too busy will try later.

Thanks Grampa

I immediately deleted it and ran cc cleaner.

I, too am getting these stupid results and I want to know why these fools are allowed to post when there are people looking for legitimate music. I don't care if Bill Gates gets pranked. These people who post these phony files should be banned from the use of LimeWire.

The word you add to filter is "pranked" not prank.

USE BITZI LOOKUP
when you see a file in search eg.. avi,mpg,mpeg you want
Right click/advanced/look up file with BITZI, if its not reported on leave it, till it is,
Now music, is not so easy,
The Newer they are, the more careful you must be.
The record company's are putting swarms of fakes on the network,
Take note of size, Songs less than 2000kb with 128kb bit rate, must be less than two minuets.
THINK!!, how long is the song I'm looking for ?
so what size SHOULD it be,
If it dos'nt have a bitrate! LEAVE it,
Scan every File before OPENING them
Don't D/L exe,rar,zip,or wma files. I am expert at using LimeWire & I don't touch them they are 99.9% viruses.
We only use these for testing anti virus programs.

P.S.. Add these words to your word filter .exe .rar .zip .wma That will stop 50% of crap search results, Don't forget to apply.

Peace.

Thanks mickjapa108

I added pranked
and those others too (.exe .rar .zip .wma)
Should I put an asterix ahead of those extensions?

I appreciate the help so much!
