Can viruses and spyware on your computer...?

Can viruses and spyware attach stuff to your computer that you truly didn't view yourself? (porn) My husband had this laptop and then we gave it to my middle son. We had a problem with our anti virus program and went a time w/o any. The computer died and a family friend attempted to clean it out for us, then informed my older son that it had been used to look at porn. My older son says that he can tell it was viewed and or attached by some form or use of limewire. My middle son does use limewire, but is adimant that he has not viewed porn. So, is it possible that viruses and spyware, which we knew it had, can attach crap to your computer? My middle son is totally embarrassed this family friend may think he is a perv!

Short answer? Oh yes! Definetely! Viruses/malware are just ''malicious code'' i.e. They do anything they're programmed to do. Steal your personal information, act as a ''gateway'' for hosting files such as pornography %26 other files (indecent or not). Have your family viewed this stuff? Maybe! But it's not for me to judge. Can viruses do this sort of thing? Without a shadow of a doubt. Hope this helps.
