The viewing of anime on the internet can come with unexpected charges.

Users of the Winny filesharing service are thought to be particularly at risk from the Kenzero virus, which originated in Japan.

The Trojan virus is hidden inside some video files of explicit Hentai anime, which are shared across the Winny network. Once an unsuspecting computer user has downloaded the video file to their machine, the virus executes, popping up an installation screen that prompts the computer user to type in personal information.

The virus then takes screengrabs of a user’s browsing history, and publishes a list of all the sites they have visited online. A dialog box or email is then sent to the user, demanding a credit card payment of around £10 to remove the list from the internet.-Daily Telegraph

I am sure there isn’t one viewer of explicit anime among ROK Drop’s readers. Yes and all of you are here to read my posts on golf too.

Turn off the sarcasm.

Only ten pounds? I guess there are enough idiots out there to ante up the money, even though blackmail in the internet age can go on forever.
