Video demonstration

Free pornographic content is but a few clicks away from any copy of the Windows operating system, from Windows 98 to Windows Vista, connected to the Internet. In the video embedded at the bottom of this article you will be able to access a video demonstration illustrating in great detail the best and fastest way to get free pornography on Windows. But in addition to porn, the video fragment also showcases the issue of free security software. Both the free security solutions and the adult content advertised via the Internet are nothing more than incentives in social engineering schemes designed to either compromise the user's computer with malicious code or trick the victims out of their money.

Ben Nahorney from Symantec revealed that there is a close connection between what he refers to as misleading applications, with adult content and pirated software. "In particular, misleading applications are often installed together with content from adult and pirated software Web sites. When visiting these sites, users are already frightened that they will become infected by malicious software (and this belief isn't unfounded). So when a misleading application falsely states they are infected, moments after visiting one of these sites, they are more likely to believe it and pay money to have these fake threats removed," Nahorney stated. "These aggressive installation vectors seem to be very effective in increasing the installation base of many misleading applications. By offering users shelter from risky activity, albeit false security, misleading applications have suddenly appeared in the spotlight."

The fact of the matter is that the video will deliver examples of rogue antispyware applications that claim to identify threats on a computer and virtually blackmail the user in order to remove them. Additionally, you will also be able to stay away from malware associated with the promise of free porn. "So how are users coming into contact with misleading applications? The simple answer is through surfing the Internet. Suspicious banner ads often lead to these applications. ("If this banner is flashing, your computer may be at risk!") On blogs, social networking sites, newsgroups - anywhere unregistered comments and posts can be left - links to misleading applications are not hard to find. Users who follow such unsolicited (and often off-topic) URLs can find themselves encountering misleading applications," Nahorney added.
