Child porn case highlights browser hijack risks
John Leyden, The Register 2004-05-13

Browser hijacking programs can redirect users to pornographic websites. But could these malicious programs also lead to false accusations of possession of child pornography?

Child porn case highlights browser hijack risks 2004-05-17

The problems with my case were police forensics never searched for Trojans. They even did not provide Dates of files creation/downloaded.

All they wrote in criminal complaint: all pictures found in unallocated clusters. Illigal pictures were deleted. Probably they were deleted from Internet cash, manually.

I usually did this. I think there was not the same hard drive clusters allocated to Internet Cash all the time. So after they are deleted, pics may be found in unallocated space.

May be I am wrong? My computer was held at Mitsubishi Electric office from July 29 to September 13, when they took off hard drive and sent it to police. HR person was angry with me. She later called the police and made false statement that I told her I had illigal porn on my laptop. If I was an idiot, I could do this. Why worker of Mitsubishi did this terrible thing, I do not know. But this is crime too, and may be much terrible crime.

Police searched my house on september 17, 2002, and found nothing. The confiscated PC, and laptop My friend ordered for me on Ebay. I was owner of this laptop only 4 weeks. In criminal complaint they put 16 pictures found in unallocated clusters,

again without files names, folders, Dates. How it was possible to link those images to me. How It could be from forensic point of view. Also Police officer put in criminal complaint that I told him I downloaded child porn. Again I am not an idiot.

They just needed to create case.

Fima.
