Child Pornography

 

I seem to be getting more e-mails promoting pornography. And lately, these have included child pornography.

I report them all to the Internet Watch Foundation, so they can carry on their work.

Child Pornography

 

I have just received an e-mail that purports to show me where child pornography can be viewed. I say purports as I don't want to look.

But I did report it to the Internet Watch Foundation.

You should always do this and you can do this anonymously.

But what worries me is that the web site was registered in WA in the good ole USA. And it was registered on Yahoo.

Surely one way to cut down on all forms of Internet abuse would be to tighten up on domain name registry.

sexyfootballbabes.com - 2

 

The bloody porn women came back. It's not that I'm a prude where soft porn is concerned and that was all that was on the front page of the site, but they looked silly with too much silicon.

Does anybody like that? They must.

I do seem to have solved the problem this time, by first using a program called HijackThis and then installing Prevx to remove the virus that was causing the problem.

But what a sweat.

If I ever come across the bastard who invented this virus, I'll put a shotgun up his arse backwards and then pull the trigger. Hoefully, He'll break his neck when he hits the ground.

sexyfootballbabes.com

 

Somehow this web site got into my computer.

Basically, it would move the current browser to that web site. It's porn coming out of Panama, so don't bother complaining.

I searched the Internet for it and found that it has infested Italy and most of the complaints about it are in Italian, so as my Italian is only as good as a menu, that wasn't much use.

I did get the impression that it was caused by some sort of cookie, file or registry entry.

1. I ran my anti-spyware and virus check software and found nothing. Always do this first if you think you have been infected.

2. I then ran the Regedit program and searched the Registry for "sexyfootball". I found nothing. (If you want to know more about Regedit use Google to search.)

3. As the sexyfootballbabes turned up regularly, I looked up Scheduled Tasks in the Windows Control Panel. There were none.

4. Finally, I searched for any files with names contained "sexyfootball". I found several and I deleted them all.

The problem was now cleared, but I still don't know how I got infected.
