I got these a while back. I concluded that I had downloaded too much porn. They kept coming back even after I deleted them.

I used to get them things a lot, really fucked me off, they never seemed to do anything to my computer. I always assumed that they came when you downloaded something, or that my sis was being a cow and downloading shit.
