I live in the US, actually, so not sure how the laws differ. And my question about the IP log was somebody's sig had a picture that displayed the words

Here's the link to the picture:

That was a joke, right, and not just something showing up for me? Why would this thread prompt that?

The obvious illiteracy should have tipped you off that the image is an amateurish
bluff and that the perpetrators have no connection to law enforcement. The person
who chose to use it as an avatar probably gets the joke.

Another question, what would a PC Recovery or System Restore do to help? In combination with defragging? Should I do one before the other?

You asked:I saw the picture but because that organisation is American there is no way I can know whether it is true or not. However, as American and British law are very similar it is highly unlikely that you can be prosecuted for anything.

You also asked:Nothing, just defrag once a week as advised.

Hi Forum Members

As if to illustrate my point of over a week ago:

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/288638-post128.html

I have come across this BBC article about a photograph that was seized by police from an art gallery:

BBC NEWS | Magazine | What's the difference between art and porn?

The collection of photographs are owned by Elton John and were taken by an eminent photographer Nan Goldin.

The authorities are currently trying to decide whether to prosecute or not.

What i use is CCleaner and set is to the NSA (7 passes) Secure Deletion. Which means that it deletes everything you want it to by first overwriting it with zeros seven times and then deletes it. Most secure way i can think of. Awesome program that i recommend anyone who has had this problem to get.

i am also worried. I am 14, and like that other guy i am normal sh*t i have many freinds and like lots of ppl my age i look at porn. I use limewire every once in a while and i am shocked when i see that weird porn in the serch results, so last night i downloaded one of a 15 yr old and i then deleted it about 1 minute after it finished downloading i only downloaded it to see if it was real and im not sure it was. I also downlaoded one about a girl and a dog and it was real, so after that i googled wierd porn on google and found this thread i was not concerned but after seeing all these posts i am very concerned, so what is the chance that i willget caught over 1 file.

btw i used eraser and erased limewire and itunes, which is where the files are from. do i need to somehow get the actual files in the trash then do it or will deleting limewire also delete the files from limewire?

oh yeah,and what can they actually do to a 14 year old?

Any secure deletion program worth a download can also scrub the free space on the
disk and the "recycle bin", so "undeleting" the files should not be necessary.

Would Eraser be one of the ones worth the download?
