We all know that if one practices unprotected sex, he/she may suffer the risk of contracting a disease or virus. That disease may sometimes be fatal, and most of the times extremely difficult to be cured and removed totally from one’s body. However, this does not only happen in the real world!
Watching and downloading sexual content from the Internet to your “unprotected” computer would risk it from contracting diseases from the virtual world too. And similarly, such “diseases”, once contracted, can be extremely difficult to get rid of from your computer as well.
Here’s a video to show you how such viruses can even auto-generate and multiply!
Just like condoms were invented in the real world, anti-virus software act as contraceptives to your computer in the virtual world too. But just like condoms in the real world, again, these software can never provide a 100% protection to your computer against viruses as well.
Now, this question that many of us have always been asking pops out once again!
Why do People Create Computer Viruses then?
Well, there are basically a few main reasons viruses are created.
1) To take control of a computer and use it for specific tasks
2) To generate money
3) To steal sensitive information (credit card numbers, passwords, personal details, data etc.)
4) To prove a point, to prove it can be done, to prove one’s skill or for revenge purposes
5) To cripple a computer or network
It will take forever for me too explain all of these reasons. Hence, I am just going to give a brief explanation of 1) and 3), the more relevant reasons for viruses to be found on pornographic websites.
It is indeed smart of the creators to create these viruses on pornographic websites. They tackle the human’s lustful nature to make sure that a large number of people, or rather computers would become the victim of their viruses, and eventually end up as slaves to their purposes.
To take control of a computer and use it for specific tasks
- This sort of viruses is known as the Trojans and they are one of the most commonly seen around.
- Once being infected, the particular computer becomes a slave to a “master” computer (the virus creator) and may become a scapegoat to perform certain tasks to another rival website so that the “master” computer can remain anonymous.
- The “master” computer can command each of these infected computers to send tiny bits of information to a web server and due to the very fact that there are thousands of computers doing this at the same time, it often overloads the server.
To steal sensitive information
Well, this probably does not need much explanation from me.
It is basically viruses created to detect the traffic going in or out of a computer for interesting or precious information such as passwords or credit card numbers and send it back to the virus creator.
These are basically 2 of the many reasons why viruses are created. If you people are interested in the rest of the reasons, you can go get some...virus!!!
Nah I am just kidding, you can go ahead and click on it! I am serious. (;
Of course, having said all these, there’s just one last similarity that I have spotted between the real world and the virtual world in this particular realm.
Prevention is always better than cure. (:
