I recently went to one of my customers who is a farmer. He is breeding rare breeds of chicken and apparently you can not tell the sex of a chicken at an early age. You need to know this because sadly the male ones get the chop and its the female ones you really want. With these rare breeds there is a simple way to tell the sex of a chicken . In one breed its brown chicks are female and white chicks are male.
Anyway the farmer wanted information on various breeds and searched for "self sexing chicks" and you can guess straight away what he got. He clicked on one of the links and ended up on a porn page. His anti-virus was way out of date so he was a easy target for what is known as a driveby download: just going to a website can get a load of crap downloaded to your machine without you knowing.
It was easy enough to remove the virus/spyware that was installed but the moral of the story is to keep your anti-virus / anti-spyware up to date.
