wtf would you ask that anyway?
Because people are being prosecuted for possession of child pornography
based on what is found on their hard drives and in their IE history, and
most of these people are being convicted despite the fact that their
computers are infected with porn-related spyware and adware. In nearly
every case law enforcement fails to even check for these infections.
Interesting thing with this worm is the extent to which is may have just
planted a large amount of porn on a large number of computers.
Not that this hasn't already been happening as a result of porn-related
spyware and adware, but is this the first porn worm?
Cheers,
