Maybe you all have heard about this already, but anyway, I wake up this morning and my mother informs me that she got a call from our internet service provider. They warned her about this new virus going around that infects a computer with files of Kiddie Porn! She told me that this virus can automatically be downloaded into your computer through pop-ups adverts and emails. I have my pop-up blocker set to high, and I don't open any emails from people/places that I am not familiar with.
Anyone else hear about this yet?
I think that people that get this particular virus, it not only ruins thier computer, but it can also ruin thier life! It would also be difficult to prove your innocence if you are arrested for this type of thing. I'm sure a lot of actual kiddie porn collectors have used "Oh it must have been a virus!" as thier defense, so it would be difficult to find out if these people are indeed telling the truth.
Well, I guess the point I'm trying to make is to be careful with what you open and what you download to your computer. You don't know what kind of things will happen or what your computer will be infected with. I'm sure a lot of you already know that.
Here's a link to an article in the New York Post about this:
