Porn Sites are Tracking Web Surfers with Spyware

This fits to what we have said the other day and what is also in discussion in Malaysia (and probably elsewhere) - if you visit porn websites, it is highly possible that you are not only subjected to numerous pop-ups but also that they install spyware and Trojan Horses on your computer.

Yahoo reports that a new study conducted by Eblocs.com reveals that 98% of porn sites use some type of Spyware or Adware. It continues that "the study also discovered that 95% of the porn sites install Spyware that creates pop-up ads that infiltrate computers at a later date. The most dangerous type of Spyware found on these sites is Browser Hijacks. This Spyware can cause computers to slow down to a crawl because the malicious downloaded content dominates system resources and bandwidth."
