Internet porn worm
• Amorous Web, Cyber Sex
Interestingly the quantity of porn email spam has declined.
Maybe the porn purveyors have found that they don't need spam to find new customers. Plenty of people are visiting their sites without benefit of a mailed invitation, and plenty of those are doing so from work.
But some black hat adult webmasters steadily master new techniques to infect visitors computers with spyware that will often leave the helpless user trapped by dozens of popup windows when they start their web browser.
Leaving aside questions of propriety and offensiveness, intentional or not, porn-site visits carry a heavy performance price: porn sites deliver not only titillation, but install scads of spyware on the surfer's machine.
If you like to visit porn sites get yourself a copy of AdAware, install a good firewall and think about installing a safer web browser.
