Getting Infected on the Internet
08/10/2012

Something I learned when my son was 14.

I never allowed computer access from a bedroom when our kids were young. Thank heavens.  But our shared computer became infected with all sorts of porn links to the point where even my printer was printing porn from our word processor.

It turns out my son visited a video gaming hint site. Due to target marketing, the porn mongers know that gaming sites are frequented by young males. And these sites are frequently infected with all sorts of trash.

Thank heavens I never allowed my personal computer to be used by the kids. Having a porn infected computer could cost me my reputation or even my job, especially if I had inadvertently spread the infections to the corporate network.

This is just something to keep in mind when your kids start gaming.
