Inherent Virus

[Robin Landseadel]

 From Today's HuffPo:

	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.

	An Associated Press investigation found cases in which
	innocent people have been branded as pedophiles after their
	co-workers or loved ones stumbled upon child porn placed on a
	PC through a virus. It can cost victims hundreds of thousands of
	dollars to prove their innocence.
