Sounds like you need to fine tune your Limewire...read this:

Filtering porn & spam

If you get specific files all the time, filter one word in the file (the less common the better, i.e. Spielberg)

Good Luck :idea:

Thanks for that Ill give it a go!:D
Have you ever seen these things come up tho? They seem a little bit too frequent to be just me?

I'm still waiting for an answer also?

Ignore those files. Right click on them and mark them as junk. You can also use LW's filter to help keep those spam files out(link in muhctekdano's post).

Yes, when I first used LW, I was often tempted to check out the aforementioned phone call...:dance:

Virus spam definitely. This topic was discussed some months ago. Amazing what the search button can do.

I found that just marking files as junk dosent always work. Seems if lots of people have the same file then it just keeps popping up! Just use your filters!

The junk filter is a dynamic learning filter. It won't necessarily learn the 1st time. You need to keep adding the same files until it learns exactly what they are. ;) But then it's also wise to have junk results show at bottom of search results just in case there's any errors or retraining required. It's not a 'perfecto' filter but it is effective.
