Lightbulb auto-block hosts who return bad/virus results

It is clear that some people are running gnutella clients that are infected viruses. These machines will *always* return a positive search result, using your exact choice of search words, but with a filesize of 28kb, 301kb, etc.

Why can't Limewire recognize this condition, maybe do a secret test search for some garbage keyword, and then automatically IP-block all hosts that respond in the positive?
