Porn is sinful, virus says



A new and bizarre computer virus (a Trojan actually) called Yusufali-A is attacking Windows machines everywhere. The virus will scan the title of the active window and look for the following words:

sex
teen
xx
Phallus
jegger
Priapus
Phallic
Penis
Exhibitionism

If it finds any, then it will display the message displayed above stating how Allah knows what you are doing. The message stays on the screen, but the user will be given an option to "Exit", when they try that, another box is displayed that screams "Oh! No I'm in the Cage". Hell perhaps? As if Windows hell was not enough. Anyway, the screen will remain and the keyboard is locked until the user logs out.

Quite an interesting use of viruses to preach and warn about the dangers of porn, but I am a bit puzzled by the choice of words. When did "teen" become a dirty word? I would also like to know what "jegger" means, but I'm afraid to ask.
