First tip: Don't post in the lounge with questions like this...unfortunately you won't be taken very seriously.

Is it possible you just got a wrongly labelled file?

There are jackasses that rename files for reasons of their own,did the file have the name of a music file?

Me :P


You could have just got a wrong file but its always worth checking everything just to be safe. Virus scan and spy scan etc.

Thanks for everyones reply. I&#39;ll do some scans and yes they had the correct titles.

Unfortunately I still have&#39;nt come up with this answer. I suppose my husband probably downloaded it , huh??

Did you try a virus scan?

There are some worms that would create files under porn names in your shared folder.

Have you done a virus or spyware search????
if not get one of these.......NOTE these are only for spyware not virus&#39;

spybot search and destory, adware, or pestpatrol

i presonally use spybot i find it works the best......it might be difficult to understand for some i use advanced mode on it
you can easily find it, its a free dl
google it... or download.com might have it

avg antivirus is a good free program aswell

Good Luck
