The lesson learned here is, don't visit naughty websites without using protection.

This is also helpful info when meeting strange ladies.

I know a guy who didnt pay, so they locked his phone to 02 and made him pay to have the phone unlocked.

Also, only way to get rid of it is by nuking your hard drive.

By that I mean reformatting it. Let's hope you didn't have anything important that isn't backed up!
