Kiddie porn on your machine = ruined life
Darkreading has an article on Malware-Driven Child Porn.

Being in possession of child porn does not (and should not) mean that you’re doing it. There are so many ways that child porn can end up on one’s computer. The article mentions malware, but simply browsing to some websites might be enough to cache such content - and the websites need not have visible child porn.
The person featured in the article lost his job and his family as a result of this malware infection. How many victims will it take until the witch hunt is over?
