The Files mostly contains in a rar or zip pack one Setup.exe with filedate 01.01.1980. Filesizes varies from 1,5 to 78 MB.

If you are connected with narrow-band Internet, such as DSL, ISDN below 2000 (256k, 128k, 56k EDGE, GPRS), you notice a significant loss of speed through the silence installed applications and toolbars (BHO's).
Be in caution some AV's do not detect the kind of virus but the firewall block the file access.
Many eMule Mod Names in download search are affected with source between 40 to 800
General I advise never to run setup.exe if it is the only zip or rar file content.
The probability that these file contents (setup, install) are junk, I think is over 80%
