Fed up with fakes and want to fight back ? You need Peer Guardian
For those who dont know what it is Peer Guardian works along side your firewall in blocking any connection from "official" sources (or newly found fake sharers
).

Help fight theses people by rounding up of all IP,s used by the flooders and getting them included into the peerguardian list.
This can be done by using 2 tools that are freely available, as we dont want any mistakes being made.

This is a little tool that will convert a WinMx "Who is "to an IP address but "Who is" is not always known to be reliable so we need a tool to cross reference it to ... (Thanks to Sir Tuho for this tool and thanks to Rat for posting it )
Next we need this, its called TCP View
http://www.sysinternals.com/files/tcpview.zip
(Untick Resolve Address ) , now compare the WinMx "Whois" to the WinMx connections listed on TCP view (please note its important that you do this, while attempting to connect to the fake file sharer)
Simple huh
now you need to put any of those types of IP,s into a nice notepad and post them here for scrutiny and addition to the block list
