Child Porn Virus

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Of all the sinister things that Internet viruses do, this might be the worst: They can make you an unsuspecting collector of child pornography.



Heinous pictures and videos can be deposited on computers by viruses – the malicious programs better known for swiping your credit card numbers. In this twist, it's your reputation that's stolen.



Pedophiles can exploit virus-infected PCs to remotely store and view their stash without fear they'll get caught. Pranksters or someone trying to frame you can tap viruses to make it appear that you surf illegal Web sites.



Whatever the motivation, you get child porn on your computer – and might not realize it until police knock at your door.

That ain't good at all. If and when you get those virus's on your computer--you'd have to take it somewhere to be 'cleaned up' and they could report you--that's awful.....

Bunch of perverts with too much free time and do not care about ruining someone's life.

Anyways, after hearing about all this.. I did a virus scan and upped my firewall settings.

It makes me sick. It shouldnt have to be this way, but I do think that some people should be careful with their photo settings on things like Facebook. Some people give full access to profiles whether you know em or not. There's so many dirty paedos out there nowadays that it surprises me that people are not more careful.

It's suprising and not suprising at the same time. It jut makes me quite sick too be honest. Ugh

I just cant see why people do this in the first place
