How is it you extrapolated this from my posts? When making a comment that gets this serious, can you at least reference a sentence, or part of a sentence that you are referring to?
"saved child porn onto another person’s computer" The answer is no, your quip had to do with him letting a friend have access to his computer, so then, why this leap to an extreme?
“type christian into a search and see what you get. You’ll likely get a really shock.”
I guess your assuming this is my first tricycle trip around the block?
“I don’t know about you, but should someone hack my computer and put kiddie porn on it......and the hacker just happened to put kiddie porn on my hard drive.”
You repeat yourself....but, I digress.
“That a picture in the cache only means that they REACHED a website with child porn”
Can a person clear their cache? If so, are there not “shredder” software that will make useless all deleted files?
If I felt the internet was getting corrupt enough that security measures were no longer able to keep me from malicious intrusion......I would simplify what I do and get rid of the internet. Having it wouldn't be worth any implication with this darkness.
I thought I posted a reply, but it isn’t showing. If this is a repeat, sorry.
“So is incompetence or carelessness in IT security now a crime in your eyes?”

I would have referenced the sentence, but my phone has no cut and past ability. It also tends to make me sound ghetto because of the auto correct.
The ‘crime in your eyes?” comment was because your entire post 43 suggested you felt that way. Apologies if I was wrong.
Um,I’ve looked over my posts and I didn’t say anything about another person’s computer. I think you got that from someone else. I don’t personally buy into the “A virus did it,” or, “My computer was hacked.” While technically possible, viruses are more designed for stealing data or taking you to a sales site. I’ve never seen a virus take me to a kiddy porn site.

You sounded like you didn’t believe people can reach bad sites by accident.
You repeat yourself....but, I digress.
Again, you’re responding to someone else. This isn’t my post and I don’t buy the hacker or virus argument.

Most people don’t even know what cache is, and even IT pros don’t exactly go around emptying it all the time. As for shredders, I don’t personally have anything I’m trying to protect that needs shredded, and shredders look guilty as hell to authorities.
If you can and choose to do without the net, that’s your choice. Most of us in the modern world don’t get a choice. The internet is a part of daily life, whether we want it or not. You can’t even job hunt effectively without the internet anymore.
Nor is internet security really the issue. I have fairly good security. I don’t think I’ve ever actually been sent to a child porn site, and I’m fairly careless on the internet. Siteadvisor by McAfee is great. But most people end up in bad sites simply from doing web searches.
