Default obscene reply to searches

Lately, everytime I search for something on Limewire, my search results include my search topic followed by an obscene message.
How do I identify who is doing this and stop them?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Thank you Alhaxit for your suggestion. I have done what you suggested and hope it solves the problem.
It troubles me that someone has the capability of identifying outgoing searches, using the search title and then posting an obscene message.
Do you know if it's possible to identify the person responsible? I know very little about the internet and how computers are linked together, but there must be someway to stop this person from ever sending obscene content in the first place.

considering the nature of how p2p must work (remember the first Napster?) it would be basically impossible to stop this person (most likely group of people receiving a paycheck)....IDing them might be possible via their IP addy, but it is most likely spoofed...

Thank you for the interpretation. It comes as no surprise the definition is deamining and cowardly. But I consider anyone posting obscenities on the internet morally depleted, developmentally disabled, socially, and intelletually inept.
Even if I had the capabilities to find and stop them, I'm not sure I would waste my time. I think the best course of action is to simply ignore them.
If no one gives them any attention, they'll eventually go away.
Thanks again.
