hi uofga,
hackers, perverted or not, can do anything they want if they gain control of your machine.
make sure your protected:
firewall, anti-virus/trojan, registry, process, and port monitors, anti-adware and spyware.
don't open any email from people you don't know, if its to good to be true, watch out. don't use peer to peer programs such as kaaza.
configure your email client properly--- close preview pane, and uncheck box where it asks you to automatically open attachments.
hope this helps, all the best,
murve

Porn shortcuts usually [not always] come from browsing porn or warez sites. A religious 'moral' hacker could do it so i assume a perverted one could :).
