    Its very possible for that to happen depending what the virus is designed to do. New viruses,malware and worms are created everyday.

    While it is certainly possible and easy to write a file stealing virus, most viruses and other malware today are designed to somehow make money for the virus coder/attacker.

    There are 10s of thousands of porn sites where nude photos and provocative videos are available, often for free. They have almost no monetary value.

    So unless you have some never-before-seen nudies of Lindsey Lohan or someone, I wouldn’t worry.
