Accidental Access

Here is an older article that I read when it first came out two years ago.  The message is still good.  It talks about bad stuff appearing on a computer without anyone even trying to get it.  As this poor teacher discovered, an innocent click on a website link opened up what the online community refers to as a "porn storm," an endless barrage of pornography pop-up windows that can't be stopped without shutting the machine down.  Within 5 seconds, over 100 windows with pornography could be opened automatically.  Scary.
