veritas	the authorities always gain if they can create a particularly hated sub-class and at the moment-it's 'pedos' and anything related. The journalist Duncan Campbell exposed some of these scams a few years ago. I would think it would be the easiest thing in the world to set someone up this way.
BR	Emma you are right - but it is likely that this virus is now going to be used on a wide basis. The article goes into great detail about it. One person had the virus and it meant that his PC visited 40 child porn sites A MINUTE and downloaded to his PC without his knowledge. Child Porn is now a weapon.
Emma Bee	btw the report does refer to a case in 2007, but my earlier post was aimed at people who (like me sometimes) cannot always access the link.
Emma Bee	It's not a new virus. There was a court case, I think last year, where a man was found to have child porn on his computer. His defence team were able to prove that a virus had deposited them there. Experts said it was a cleverly written virus which deposits images on your hard drive where they cannot be seen by the average user. The virus then removes itself, leaving almost no trace of it having been there. Only those who knew about the virus could detect it's traces. It's good he had a defence team who were associated with someone who had that knowledge. I assume that, since then, knowledge of the virus has become more widespread.
