• Looping—making a never-ending loop with new porn pages constantly appearing.
• Mouse-trapping—altering the use of the back and close button so a person can’t exit that site.
• Start-up alterations—booting up your computer opens a porn site.
• Cookies—placing small files on your computer’s hard drive to keep track of every move you make.
• Filter fooling—Pornographers are constantly working to work around blocking filters.
• Dangerous downloads—Trojan horses and spyware can get into into your computer through Internet downloads. They can alter your computer’s behavior and track your every activity on the web.
• File sharing and P2P (peer-to-peer) networks—porn is very easy to pass around through these distribution methods.
• SPAM/SPIM—Pornographers send tons of SPAM (unsolicited emails) and SPIM (unsolicited instant messages) to lure people to pornography sites.
