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.

Re: my laptop is broken by hackers

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!
