not necessarily adult sites in general. But many of them do in fact use exploits in IE to install spyware, yes.

Use bit torrent for pr0n. Adult web sites are for idiots.

Yes. A majority of them use keyloggers and are also widely known for deploying Trojan malware.

Ive been trying to tell me my buddy that this may be a problem who keeps getting shit happen to IE and some viruses and what not.

The only thing I could think of is he does watch porn online so I was wondering if I was telling him right.

I have Mac so I dont have to worry as much. :mrgreen:

Any file you download from the Internet has the potential to be, but the major sites like mininova, the pirate bay, isohunt, torrentreactor.to, etc... all screen them.

www.scrapetorrent.net is my fav, it's sort of a torrent search aggregator.
