Someone is loading a virus
 
Every search has this decoy. It will list the name that is searching for, but always is an MP3 type and is always 3462kbs T3 or higher and always shows many servers serving it. Your mouse won't highlight over it and if you download it the player on Limewire will ignore it, but if you try to play it on another player the virus alert will appear if you are being protected by any spyware programs. If you go ahead and try to play it it will mess up your player and other things. I've noticed this over and over. It ia always the top selection of a search and uses that right name for the search. Be careful.:yikes:

Hi...

There are a growing number of other 'file sizes' that are definite giveaways as being total dangerous crap.
Only a few years ago there were only two or three of them and they were almost always 'dialers'.

The other good ones, LOL, are the 'torrent' files that are like 3,486 (or whatever) Kb... That's one mother of a torrent file size, eh ?

Best way to find them is to do a search for anything nonsensical... your name spelled backwards works a treat !
britney pastrami rye has also been most effective ! :eek:

Give it some time and 'push' the search a few times...
Bingo... Crap file sizes galore !

Write them down... Hey, scratch them into your monitor and never D/L anything of the same size... Even if there are 983 Sources !
:rolleyes:

Thanks for your reply
 
You are right about all this. I wish it weren't so, but reality is what it is. It is comforting to know that people like you are looking for ways to get these people and stop this nonsense. I'll be careful. I know the signs.:rolleyes_2:
