I have been using LW for about 2 years. My computer died about 6 months ago so i had to buy a new one rescently... it took about 2 months to find a good deal on a new comp though. but when i was all settled and tried LW again i noticed most everything in my searches was TRASH!?!?! some things that have been trashed even look real u know? (not viruses). i try to do my part if somethin looks shady, i trash it because it sucks to download something and be all excited about it... then ur comp is destroyed. anyways whats up with all this trashing?

What you see marked as trash depends on your own junk filter settings & how you've rated files (as junk/not junk) previously.
If you're seeing files marked as junk, but you think the files are ok, mark them as 'not junk'. The filter will learn over time.
If too much is being labelled junk, you might need to relax your junk filter settings a bit

This thread's old & pretty long, but has some good info.
Junk Filter

Apparently an increasing amount of rubbish has been put onto the network by annoying people and they adapt to look just like whatever you're searching for. Blocking the file's host is a better way to prevent rubbish as search results than marking it as 'junk'.

My junk filter is set to relaxed but still I am getting an extreme amount of junk files and not much else. Is it possible that all of these really are junk?
