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,
