Are you doing everything
you can to keep your family safe?
It is estimated that 90% of all computers
on the Internet are infected with spyware and/or pornography. Some
telltale signs of spyware infection are:
• Your computer slows to a crawl.
•
Advertisements pop up even when you are offline.
• A program
automatically scans your computer and reports 100’s of viruses have
infected your computer.
• You click on a link to go to one site,
but your browser ends up at another site.
• When you enter a
search item, a new and unexpected site handles the search.
• Your
bookmarks change on their own.
• You click your Home button but
it takes you to a new site, and when you switch the setting back,
the new site appears again anyway.
These and other symptoms
indicate that your system has been infected, and one of the most
common causes of this infection is a visit to a porno site. While
it’s often accidental at first, it’s never the last. Curiosity is an
overwhelming force, no one is immune from it.
90% of all computers on the Internet are
infected - that means you! People are always surprised when
they discover porno on their home computers. I have been in the
computer business a long time, and it’s my experience that EVERY
computer has at least some pornography or otherwise offensive
material on it.
Perhaps you keep your computer in a public
area, like the kitchen or living room. Perhaps you have only girls
at home, or maybe your kids are too young to get into this type of
website. The sad truth is, pornography is being accessed by the
young and the old, by boys and girls, in private and in public, day
and night. It is being accessed by the addicted and by the innocent.
It’s free and very easy to access, often being pushed on us via
email, You Tube, jokes, chat programs like Microsoft Messenger ,
advertising on your home page (MSN), or even while playing a free
game..

• Pornography
is a $57 billion a year industry.
In comparison, the combined revenues of all teams in the NBA, NHL,
MLB, and NFL is $12 billion, and the combined revenues of ABC, CBS,
and NBC is a mere $6.2 billion.
