Hi,

My fiance and I have been together for five years. In the past, he has claimed and sworn to me that porn disgusts and sickens him. However, two days after he downloaded LimeWire onto our new computer, I came home from work and saw that Internet History had been erased. That was pretty weird. So I tried searching through the history, and about 30 files came up listed as C:\MySharedFolder\Pictures\_____.jpg (something like that). It was all porn. They had all been deleted, but the history/links to the C drive were all still there.

Now, when I confronted him about it, he claimed he had no idea how they got there. Then he tried to say that they were probably somehow uploaded on there by one of the other users while he was trying to download MP3s. I told him that was impossible, since the only way they can get onto your computer is if you click on the files to upload them.

Someone also told me that sometimes people rename files as MP3s but they turn out to be porn instead. That has happened to me and a friend of mine before. But, I found this morning a My Recent Documents folder, which holds all of the recent documents that have been opened/viewed in the last few days. The porn files were in there, but they were shortcuts and the originals had been deleted.

To make it short (although it's already too long anyway), is there ANY possible way that porn files could have been sneaked into the My Shared Folder from LimeWire by a user that my fiance was uploading MP3s from? I know the answer already, but i'd just like to know if there is any kind of bug or virus that someone could have used to upload that porn.

He is not the type to lie, but I don't trust men (from my own personal experiences in the past) any further than I can throw a rock at them. So if anyone here knows of ANY way that he can prove me wrong and show that he IS telling the truth, please let me know. This has been causing extreme problems in our relationship for the past three days.

'Proof' as you refer to in your final paragraph, is not possible...

BUT, please take a look around these forums for other posts that relate to this overall subject.

As a very short 'starter' for you...
Yes, it is possible for people to unwittingly download a file that, when innocently opened, will direct the users machine to from one to thousands of different 'porn sites'...

You will see numerous posts here related to this same problem...
Most from either parents or older siblings concerned about younger children...
(And, of course, since all husbands and boyfriends are just younger children, it should be useful to you !)

I should also quickly mention that the 'bad files' with links and such are not confined to one particular size range or type... Whether it is some 700MB mega-file or a 300kB eBook file, there could be included such garbage...

Last, keep in mind that many totally innocent people have spent long times in jails and courts because of precisely the same things and the same instant suppositions of guilt. I am sure you can probably think of numerous famous people who have been burned this way when they were in fact completely blameless.


p.s. With your nick, one hopes that you don't finally do him in with a pendulum !!!

Ok I'll sound harsh but you gotta ask these questions to yourself Morticia:
1)if he likes women, why would he dislike porn?
2)why do you think he erases things so you not see after 5 years?
3)why are you so disturbate about porn and why do you not trust men?

My early diagnostic is that you are oppressive with him and you do not threat him as an equal individual, try to be less opressive you are not his mother for god's sake!

Bonne chance quand même

He's probably saved those pictures from the web (using the browser) to your shared folder. I doubt Limewire has anything to do with that.

However, I do think this is not a big deal. Just take it easy with him. You can't blame him for being a man.

What should I say... yes of course you can rename all file to MP3, BUT no viewer would recognize them. And 30 times, very often for a mistak.? And who have changed the file type to .jpg to view them?

No way...

Yes I think its posssible, BUT only experts can do this... and really why should they upload porn to your computer instead of a virus or anything like this?

Again no way...

I can say the same about women, but this is an other story...

Hey he is a man... he likes women where is the problem? You should ask yourself why he is doing this without your knowledge. If I would discover something like this, I would view the pictures together with my partner and test some of the things we see... *the rest is censored*. Really after five years its normal that men look at other women (women do the same but they think we are stupid and don´t know it), as long he is "eating" at home it shouldn´t be a problem.

Don´t blame him for his desires, better ask him if he likes what he sees and if he want to test some of the things... perhaps he is shy and can´t talk with you about his desires? Do you talk with him about yours?

To make it short this is no "technical" problem, this is a "communication" problem.

Just my worthless two cents.

I know about links that redirect you to porn sides but that pics are uploaded to a comp? But you can test it very easy scan the PC and you have the anwser...
