Well Problem, I think those are spawned by some special software used by someone hired by the "media industry" to spam up p2p. If I'm not mistaken, there was a thead a few weeks ago about this on here, but I'm just too lazy right now(big meal.....) to bother looking. I run into that on gnutella all the time, and it's geting worse. I've downloaded some and as far as I can tell, it ain't viral, it's just junk. Of course, you should always be suspicious when the mpeg of Star Wars episode II or whatever is only 68Kb :)

These are the kinds of things you need to expect when you start sharing files with people and you don't know/aren't sure of the files you are downloading. If I EVER use something like Kazaa (any p2p application involved with file sharing) I scan EVERY file that I get with a trojan scanner, A/V scanner, bot scanner, etc. There are too many hazard's these days with downloading files off of Kazaa for people not to have a heads up.
Like I said, my advice is to scan your downloaded files and to be careful of the extensions of the files you download. Also, if the file size is WAAAYY off from what your sure it should be, it probably isn't what it is supposed to be. Great head's up reboot, people definitely need to be aware of these things.
