all file sizes in searches are in KB not MB
 
Started up Limewire and tried a search and notice alot of files listed in kbs. After that all of them were listed in kbs. Some kind of virus? I'm running mac and not used to this sort of thing.

I'm afraid there are lot of these little buggers around. Some are trojans ... some are viruses, some are advertisements for iPods or recordings of Bill Clinton saying he didn't do it. Yes they are small, usually ... and they are auto generated so you can make a typo and still come up with a pile of these little nippers with your misspelled name.

This thread explains a bit.

A lot of windows users download them and find they have infected their computers, and blame Limewire. Mac users tend to notice them and ask sensible questions instead:)

Vary and repeat your search a little and you will find files that are regular!.. It would be great to have a filter to filter out file sizes. But unless someone at Limewire has a change of heart, it is not going to happen soon:(:(:(
