Hello mattstar,

If you discovered porno in your shared folder, and you are the only person using your computer, you must have downloaded it yourself I guess.
Is it a case where filename and content does not match ?
It happens that people rename nasty content to look like something innocent.
There's not much to do about it P2P is a bit like a jungle.
If you want to be safe, the best thing to do is to not download pic's and video's.
Music files are usually safe.

The safest way to get rid of nasty content on you harddrive is indeed to erase the files, if you just delete them there's a possibility that they can be recovered.
There are programmes around that can erase files, I suggest you do a google search for it.
I tried "file erase software" and that brought up a lot of usefull links.
