If you accidentally do, delete them immediately.
Those files install all kinds of porn links on your computer.

Unfortunately, it seems that every search will turn up a link to one of these files, no matter what you search for. Example:
search for xyz, receive response for !!setup xyz.zip or
!! setupxyz.rar
You're absolutely right - newer clients like BearShare and Gnucleus (soon others) automatically block search results from known spammer IP addresses (called "hostiles").
