bogus download files
 

when searching for anything, heaps of wma files show up in the search window with the name of the file you are searching for in the title. But when they are downloaded and you try to run the file, it contacts a server somewhere and trys to download software onto your computer. I'm running windows media player ll. Any ideas what's going on anybody?
Thanks,
Peter

It's Malware, spyware, spam...Run your spyware app and get rid of all of those files...
Then enter WMA into your keyword filter that way you will not get those results anymore...

Thanks guys,
Got it!! Applied filters etc. pity about the dynamic ip's though, otherwise they could be barred. But how about a dynamic filter? Right clicking some rubbish and marking it as spam blocks the ip for say... 72hrs... hmmm... but that could come back to bite you in the bum. The spammers would use it to mark the legit stuff and the whole network would become useless. Damn!!:(
