Adult sites are a source of infection to a user�s computer. A person must not necessarily be searching for an adult site in order to end up being infected by one. The main reason for this is the fact that hijacking programs routinely redirect browsers to adult sites, where they are exposed to spyware, adware and other malware, which can harm your computer. As a result, whether it is an unexpected or an intentional visit to an adult site, what you can get is everything from annoying popup ads to rootkit installation, to key loggers installation and even to identity theft. Not to speak about the unintentional exposure to pornography, that can occur at any time.

In order to better protect yourself against the threats of adult websites, you can start by choosing one of the internet browsers that claim to just this. For instance, Heatseek is an adult site specific browser that claims to be both secure and easy to use. The Mozilla Firefox browser is a browser that says it will help visitors to adult websites hide their online activity. This browser is considered to be a safe and convenient browser for all types of surfing, be it adult-oriented or not.

The Firefox browser gives the user control over popups and windows. It is also known for being secure and not allowing automatic spyware downloads. By its tabbed browsing feature, which supplies the user with a faster alternative to multi-window browsing, lets pages in different tabs remain accessible while the user views other pages and lets the user open new links instantly instead of waiting for a separate window to load. Users who value their online privacy are easily able to clear their cookies, cache, download history, and browsing history. Last but not least, the various downloading features give the user control over how and where to save files.

Besides using a safe browser there are a few other things you must keep in mind in order to avoid problems. The most important element in thin fight is having a firewall and an anti spyware software program installed on your computer. When visiting any adult site, never agree to a thing they might ask you! You must never open any mail form adult websites, especially those having attachments and this should be your main rule for any other type of sites you may consider as unknown sources.
