ADVERTISMENTS in the Audio & Video listings -Why??
 
Attention Moderator(s): Can anyone tell me what "FREE APPLE LAPTOP COMPUTERS @ *spam link removed* ..." have to do with either music or video files?? This is nonsense! Who will have this annoying advertising junk removed from the listings??

:(

Which client are you using (so that I can move the thread to the correct place)?

efreeclub is spam. Spam's all over the gnutella network. Clients using the Gnutella network don't have central servers - you download files from other users. So there's no way to control what's being shared on the network, good or bad.

If you're using LimeWire...

Check out the thread below for more info, as well as a list of words that it's worth filtering out. New spam will come along but if there's a keyword associated with the files, you can always filter it out.
How to find music

You could also try this hostiles list - it might cut down on the amount of spam that you see: The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire
