Default mpg 270.6 KB junk files

On many of my searches I will get returns that have the same name as what I'm searching for and they always seem to be 270.6 kb mpg files. I'm marking them Junk as I go but wondered what these things are and how they show up like that.

Thanks!

There more than likely viruses, I would add MPG into your keyword filter and avoid them that way...
Some interesting info...
WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

This 270.6 comes up usually when I search for a film.
Strange that all files with the film's name are junk

Filter these Bad extensions, go to Tools > Options > Filters > Keywords. Now add the following extensions including the dot. .exe, .rar, .wma, .zip, .mov. Click Apply and OK. This will clean up a Ton of Junk while searching. If you decide you Don't want to block a certain extension then go back and Unblock it. Try this, I think you'll like it.

What you are encountering are spam, and fake files. See Links below for more helpful info.

Always use Bitzi to check video files.

See: Recognising Fake files

And for tips on finding good files, see: How to find music.

Hope this helps.

I don't think that will solve the problem.
For example I was searching for the film [edit]

8 results all of 270.6 KB
I don't think that all are junk
Someone must have this film
