Default What's going on with the files of the size 1050KB?

I was wondering what was going on with these files that have asize of 1050KB it's pretty annoying and I was wondering if you could do something about it, it makes me feel like I'm watching someone being exploited, or something like that, if you have a solution please don't hesitate, feel free to ease these downloads time

Do they all have the exact same size, but different file names?
What types of files are they? WMV, ZIP, EXE?

Do any patterns catch your attention, such as all the sources being Shareaza
or Limewire, or the same IP addresses appear often in the list?

You have to provide all the exact details or we cannot determine
which worm or spammer is involved or if it is a new problem. There are a lot of
bad files out there, and accurate information is our best defence.

Yeah, there is also another file that is exactly 4,883 KBs big. It almost always pops up in any searches with (Sponsored Result)search name. Also, it comes up in the other file types. I don't know if it a bad file or not, but it gets really annoying.

Thumbs up size 1,050 Mov files

i think everyone hates them - it pretty much doesn't matter how harmless the search, they always turn up -
i've got a theory that its an advertising company, and a particularly unethical one.
as extra help though - never try to download a mov file - there are a couple of genuine ones, but not worth the risk.
whatever search you put in for a film, look to the lists on the left
you should see a list like
avi
mov
mpeg
mpg
if you press one of these it shows just that type of file- ignore all mov types
and NEVER load a ZIP file that is 197.7Kb - this is normally a virus or other horrible stuff.
