Porn? Why? Bad for computers?
I am not a fan of porn, I am actually against it. Though I talked to my one friend and said his kid brother ruined the computer becuase he would go to porn sites, my question is why does porn ruin computers? Like what is the problem with computers and porn? Why does porn ruin a computer...I am just wondering. I never would have thought porn could ruin a computer. I am not a prev, or a sicko, I just dont understand why.

I guess a lot of porn is pretty big and could fill up the hard drive hence slowing the computer down?
Or perhaps he's reffering to all the popups on porn sites clogging up his history ;]http://www.STX-Hosting.com

I'd make an "adult comment"....but this is considered a family forum PM me if you'd like to hear it
But, maybe he should try clearing out his history/cache, and then get some software to keep his kid brother away from the porn?

Why does porn ruin a computer?
I know someone that had to re-install his OS (windows) because he accidentally hit 'ok' or something, and this site is downloading files that stays in the computer everytime he opened up his browser.
In short, porn wants to get to you one way or another. And it's all about money. Just like drugs! That's why it tries its hardest to 'stay' in your computer, eventhough you don't want it. It doesn't care if it ruins your settings.Reyner Natahamidjaja

Formating is a little drastic.
The only time i wont fix this is if the customer has kiddie pron. I tell them to see their dealer for that. ( I'm biased I guess, but kiddie porn is sick... I figure maybe if their neighbors know they go to sites like that, they mite stop)[url]I got nothing/url]
For clarity's sake, don't use "<ip address of hostname>" use the ACTUAL 32-bit numeric IP address of the machine.

Personally I don't have a problem with it. (unless its hardcore stuff like S&M)
Some of the seedier sites resort to poor practices like making you unwittingly download dialers and other scripts.

Porn is wrong if you are under 18 and you are illegally viewing at it, i.e. kid brothers.

I started a porn site and was making decent money before I was 18.
So I suppose if illegally looking at it is bad, illegaly selling it is worse
