Default really limewire sends this spam ???

Now the word "rock" in the search term triggers a search result with name as "Like Piano Rock? Check out ***** ****** . This is a secure result. No information in this result has been tampered. ", type as url, quality as a padlock symbol. The IP address from location is (the ip address) of Limewire. Clicking on the result directs to the ****** **** artists home page.

Really Limewire sends this spam ?

Of course not. lol It would not be in their interests to do so.

Check out the topics here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...load-help.html & make sure you look at spam, porn, how to download music, & fake files topics. Start using the LW Junk filter on your spam results.

And why didn't LW remove the padlock symbol ? Why didn't LW check the IP address ?
I know that this is spam, but why doesn't know this LW ?

I have only heard of that padlock symbol once before. I can't recall what the problem was. Perhaps you can search the forum for padlock or lock. The junk filter needs to be trained. You need to train it. The more similar files you designate as spam to the filter, it will after a while recognise by itself & filter out automatically. There's also information about how to use the junk filter in the beta section.

As I said I know this is spam and I don't need to this the junk filter. Searching the forums I found the padlock in the search results only relating to the secure official limewire updates, as the orange banner says too. Just search for "limewire", the result's type is com, quality padlock, size 1.0 KB,
the name "Official LimeWire Pro available here", the download directs the browser to LW's home page.
