I dont know what is causing but i tried tons of fixes, i mainly use public torrenting, and sonarr and radarr are doing it.

I added *.arj and arj to the quality profile avoid list without success, and prowlarr is as torrent (i've read sometimes it gets confused and uses nzbget)

That's a terrible way to put it and sincerely misguided in my opinion. I have a handful of public indexers, they work fine in 99.99% of the cases for my needs. In fact, never before I've had this issue until recently, with two unreleased episodes that were fake files. For me, not allowing the unreleased episodes is just another layer of security. In other words, using your example, I don't want the water filter for my car to use the bad gas station, I want to get the water filter to make sure that if there's ever some water by accident or not then it won't get to the engine.. If I see the indexers or trackers start publishing a lot of fake stuff it will get removed, but from public indexers I understand if there's something ever getting past, and I don't want the devs of some software deciding that me requiring that a show has been aired before I even try to download it is dumb.

Everyone hasnt had this issue until recently.

Because it’s new vector for spreading malware that preys upon people running automated systems like the arr stack or just clicking stuff willy nilly.

The solution is to stop using public trackers that allow randos to upload malware.
