Russian porno sites take over your computer!!!

Post by stillafool » Sun Jul 13, 2003 1:02 am

I was watching this today on CNN. They didn't get really specific, just said some guys in russia take your computer over if you search certain porno sites. Anybody know how they do this?

I have heard of this "internet". Isn't it the lining in swim drunks. Al Gore invented it for the US Swim team. It was our only weapon against the commiies.

I've been told by a few that this internet thing is highly addictive and a gateway to anti-social behavior. but who can contest free porn?

Internet for computers? What'll they think of next....

There's an "Internet Cafe" by my house. I always thought it was something you ate.

Now, when my computer starts feeding me....

Well, they kind of obfuscate, maybe, and not give you all the details (obviously not wanting to encourage the use and, uh, abuse of things) and they do it by moving their lips in front of people vegging out before the TV. Yep, them CNN people are amazing.

Now, I gotta go back to inandout.com.
