Default Beware ALL 3,462 and 5,5611 kb mp3's

By frequent downloading I have come across many suspicious files..even ones I checked in Bitzi...genrally speaking they all come up near the top of the list of entries in your search results..generally claim to be from a T3 line

and most of them trace back to one IP number [although I have found variants: 66.176.168.175
The host is never available for a chat [gee..gosh..what a shock]

Is there any way Limewire can purge/block that IP number. ASnd,,realizing that may be fruitless..is it possible to troll the archives and delete and shared file that comes to exactly 3,642 or 5,611 kb?

Okay..maybe that's dumb..so until further notice may I see BEWARE of any 3,642 0r 5,611 .mp3 file with very little description.
It is a virus!

I have downloaded the 5611 file and when I search, I see it's still on my PC. Virus scans haven't cleared it. Any way to locate the file and get rid of it?
