Getting a virus that uses your computer to send itself, and spam, out without your knowledge is bad. Getting a virus that hides kiddie porn on your computer is much, much worse.
Apparently, pedophiles have started using viruses to hide their vile stash on strangers computers. And guess what? Nobody believes that it was a virus that put them there when those pictures are found.
