Before discovering Kazaa, I attempted to search for MP3s on the web.
Thousands of sites popped up all purporting to offer MP3s, only
when I attempted to actually find any of the alleged MP3s, all I
got were hundreds of popup ads offering various kinds of porn,
including kiddie porn! One of these popups somehow managed to
write a sleazy porn site as my home page, defying all attempts to
change it back to Google. My guess is that this is what happened
to your kid.
