Be Aware From The Virus Of “Child Porn”

German federal police are warning about a computer virus that accuses victims of viewing “juvenile pornography”. It also displays an image that it claims reveals images of child sexual abuse have been viewed on a computer. The Windows virus locks a computer and only returns control to its owner on payment of a 100 euro (£86) fine. Text in the window claims that images of child sexual abuse as well as pirated content have been found on the machine. Also displayed is an picture of a child which it claims reveals illegal images have been viewed. It seems that they are attempting to increase the pressure of this kind of emotional blackmail.
