A few good reasons why you should include porn scanning in your PC maintenance schedule

The problem of inappropriate (or illegal) porn material on home and corporate computers is typically underestimated. We frequently receive feedback from surprised computer owners reporting that inappropriate images and videos were found during a recent scan of their computer. "I never expected to find this stuff on MY computer!".

Often these users have downloaded the free trial of our antiporn program 'Snitch' with no expectation of finding pornography on their hard disk; and they are stunned when they discover that somebody in their household has been viewing porn regularly, and the family's computer, the same one that the kids do their homework on, is contaminated with all kinds of undesirable files. They are very happy to have found a tool that can help them clean up any porn.

Protecting the kids

Probably any parent's main concern with pornography on their computer is the risk that their children will be exposed. This is a valid concern, because kids these days are very fluent in the use of computers, being introduced to them at a very early age both at home and at school. Therefore they usually have the wherewithal to find just about anything they want on the computer's hard drive, and potentially stumble across porn that has been stored there intentionally or unintentionally by another user of a computer.

There are many theories about the type of damage that can be done to children who are exposed to pornography before they are mature enough to handle it. It is generally agreed that kids' undeveloped minds can misinterpret the fantasy world of pornography as a depiction of real life, and this can carry over as behavioural problems into their early adult life. Parents are thus justified in wanting to shield their children from pornography on the Internet and other sources, until they are prepared to absorb this information properly, and understand it for what it really is. This is one of the benifits of having a good porn removal program at hand.

Improving system performance

There are other benefits to be had from cleaning up porn from the computer's hard disk. Typical porn caches of thousands of files including images and movies, can take up large chunks of the hard drives free space, and exacerbate fragmentation issues particularly if files are being added and removed on a regular basis. Therefore the simple act of cleaning up porn can potentially speed up the performance of a computer in terms of hard disk accesses. And since computer performance is such a big factor for most users, this can only be a good thing. So performance and free space recovery are two positive side-effects of the porn cleaning process.

Legal issues

It is also worth keeping in mind that some kinds of porn are more dangerous than others from a legal standpoint, for example child pornography is considered illegal, and can open you up to criminal proceedings if such material is found on your computer. Even cartoon depictions of pornography including Pokémon characters engaged in sexual activity, can be potentially infringing, even though the characters involved are fictional. Recent court cases have been reported in which a person has been found in possession of child pornography because their computer contained cartoon images of children performing sex acts.

Is really not a difficult process to clean porn off your computer. Snitch and Snitch Plus have been specifically designed to make the process as painless as possible. Why not give the free trial of Snitch pornography cleanup software a run on your system?
