Uh, yeah. That guy looks completely innocent. I know, innocent until proven guilty. I still don't get the whole "surfing sites on someone elses computer thing".

So everybody now has to constantly search their hard drives for bogus pictures? Things like this are scary both because they can give credit in the public eye to virus defenses, and because it points out how computers can't really be safe to be used. It's scary what can be done if someone finds a way to get their program onto your computer, regardless if it puts porn there or if it does something else bad. We are at the mercy of how good our anti-virus software is, it seems.
