Question Bogus files on LW

I use LW often and I don't believe alot of people check out the file size of the file they are d/ling, especially for programs. For example, I was looking for A***a CD/DVD L*bel M**er and I do a search and all these files come up with a file size of 851.7KB.
Now who in their right mind can't figure out that this is NOT the true size of the file? Well, obviously there are quite a few as evidenced by the amount of ppl downloading them. This happens alot. It sure would help if people were honest when sharing their files, instead of having us waste our time downloading something that is BOGUS. Isn't there any way to get some of this crap off of LW? Just venting here..thanks

We do not want to know specific files you're downloading; see Forum Rules (click here)

2 things!!!
1. Don't open those files. That's the size many people have posted about that contain viruses- worms & trojans.
2. autogenerated spam results

Yes, if PSP9 is like 3,400 kb I know it cant be right. Also I go to see what else they have to offer. It seems the virus hosts only have the one file to share... hmmmm intresting...
