Well Lapsy I hate to tell you this but this is Old news. The MAFIAA aka the (RIAA & MPAA) actually hire organizations to Flood the Network with Fake Files, Viruses, Worms, and Spam in an Attempt to discourage the use of P2P. I would suggest Downloading ONLY Audio, Video, and Books from the Gnutella Network. If you are interested in Games or Programs DON'T use this Network. Here is a list of File Extensions to Filter OUT to help you stay semi safe amd other suggestions and Info.


Try these suggestions.

What I have done that works really well is to go to Tools > Options > Filter > Keywords and then add these file extensions: .wma, .exe, .rar, .html, .com, .zip, .mov. Be sure to tick apply and O.K. There are a ton of fake and corrupt files with these extensions. I will only download mp3 files that are larger than 2000kb - 3000kb. Also make sure thay have a bitrate.

that is true, but you must appreciate the fact that most of the users of Gnutella would be naive users. They are probably not taking such precautions and thus it becomes important to protect users against such kind of worm attacks
