Yes, i noticed them too.
My virus scanner also detected the file i downloaded.

Just look out for files with the developer/artist [SN]

I dont know what kind of virus it is but it just screws up your comp like puts this porn shit and hello kitty shit into your windows folder.Also it put a hole binch of crap into your kazza folder under other and if you delete them they come back.Also quarintineing the file does crap.

Thanks for the warning, but viruses are everywhere. So the best chance to not get one is to always keep your AV updated.

The best way to steer clear of viruses is to not download any software program under 1mb unless you are very sure.
I did that and i have been virus free for a year

Exe programs that are unknown always has a risk of a virus.

Ah yea, the kitty porn virus..

Virus scanners cant even pick the damn thing up yet cause it works like a normal exe and puts the files on your hd (cause no damage at all) just makes u look like a perv. It sets your homepage and everything... I had to actually use a Installation checker to see what it did so I could get rid of everything it did.

Someone should submit it to norton. I think those pron company is actually making all those fake files to help advertise.. bastards (btw, the exe has an icon of some lips and is allways renamed to some crack for a game or something.)

Might be worthwhile to message the people on Kazaa that you see sharing such files -- because they probably don't know they're infected... and if not stopped, this is a 'gift' that keeps on giving.
