Internet insecurity outfit BitDefender has said that pornography remains the best way of compromising your computer.

The firm studied the data security risks and implications when accessing 'adult' web sites and found that 63 per cent of users attempting to persuse a bit of porn on their PCs compromised their security on multiple occasions.

The firm's survey looked at porn surfers' habits to determine their ensuing malware and privacy-related problems. “This BitDefender survey confirms that users should think twice when accessing pornographic sites since this is an area that cyber criminals continue to exploit,” said author of the survey Sabina Datcu.
