A virus that does some good...???

[krusty the klown]

A virus is being circulated that searches your system for child pr0n and shops you to the authorities!

The only snag is if you had some (legit) pics on your HDD from a family holiday, you could be accidentally shopped!!!

I think that is fairly neat.
Except for the fact that if you DO have childrens pictures from the holidays, you'd get shipped away..
Still that virus is pretty snazzy http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

He seems to be fighting the good fight...but still, a virus is a virus.

How does it tell if it is child related or of adults? does it work out a volume of skin tones, what if you are into dwarves? could get hairy??

Yeah what is the criteria? Seems sketchy at best.

Hahahaha!!!! ROFLMAO http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Not that i am of course!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif but there are a lot of wierd people out there. I'd just feel sorry for them if they got caught!

[krusty the klown]

True!

but I don't feel sorry for someone who gets off on pre-teen stuff. Still, some of them seem to do a good job of shopping themselves by taking their computers into repair shops and leaving hundreds of images on the HDD - Garry Glitter for one and there was some Catholic Priest nabbed the same way recently.

could get hairy??

Whatever blows yer trumpet m8 :p

Maybe it finds suspect files and sends them litle by little to the authority for verification so they can covertly dream up a valid search warrent excuse and knock on your door?

Stll it seems like a good idea..
Maybe it could be developed a little bit more..
