Don't let porn addiction dictate where you surf
It's easy to become blasé about the risks of storing hardcore porn images on our computers. A porn habit often means that vast quantities of explicit images and videos are collected on harddrives; any concerns about being rumbled are overridden by the compulsive cravings to gather more of the stuff.
And if you'll excuse the pun, porn collectors become hardened to standard hardcore fare. To maintain the buzz of our habit, we might find ourselves seeking out more extreme and fetishistic material. I've spoken to guys who found themselves stimulated by bizarre and outlandish images that they would never have previously felt attracted to. For a small minority of guys, this appetite might lead them into illegal territories.
I've just been forwarded this article (thanks Alex!) which highlights the risks of being stumbled upon by computer repair technicians, work colleagues, employers and family members. It's still early days for the the Dangerous Pictures section of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act, but there are indicators that successful prosecutions are on the increase.
To quote the article:
Whilst in theory this should only be of concern to individuals who habitually surf in areas where they ought not, readers should remember that many porn sites will download all manner of images, sometimes going well beyond the matter originally sought.
Porn obsessed guys lose count of websites visited and files downloaded over countless hours spent in the online trance. But in the face of police and judiciary, would porn addiction present any form of defence? I very much doubt it.

You are right about the way
You are right about the way addicts move to more extreme and fetishish material. Please see my chart and article on the steps of porn addiction and how we move on to more hardcore material. http://abattleplan.com/2009/05/progression-porn-usage/
Hello, Bear in mind, if my
Hello,
Bear in mind, if my memory serves me correctly, this is exactly how Gary Glitter (i.e. Paul Gad) was caught out. By taking his computer to the repair shop. This is how he was found to be into child porn.
**Also note that psychologically speaking most normal adjusted heterosexual males when show images of naked children i.e. below the age of puberty don't find such images. The source of arousal i.e. such images are not in fact found to be sexy or a turn on from what I have read.
PC's, & computers, & laptops
PC's, & computers, & laptops are unlike any other consumer electrical product and are quite possibly the most technically complex item found in the home. That said the way computers are sold in stores is amazing with the emphasis on it being just like any other items such as a kettle or TV or HiFi. So without a great deal of studying and personal research its very easy to see how many people are extremely niave about the contents of their computers hard disk drives.
**Remember such naivity is what lead to the watergate scandle all those years ago in the USA. Staff deleted documents on computers thinking that just pressing the delete key and emptying the recycling bin was the end of the matter. Only for them to be completely caught out by the use of sophisticated recovery software which laid bare all the worst incriminating evidence of the scandel and thousands of documents were laid bare for the prosecution.

TIP:-
If you still have adult images (porn) on the hard drive of your computer and you wish to remove them permanently so they cannot be recovered by special software tool. Then the only real solution is to securely delete the files using a program like ERASE (this is free open source software which carries a GPL license for public use)
SEE:- http://eraser.heidi.ie/
This program if configured correctly will overwrite each unit of data on the disk up to x35 times using random characters. Note that once a file has been erased in this way it is literally gone forever and cannot be recovered even from a bit map level of the disk (even forensic data tools wont work either). Any files securely deleted are permanently removed.
