Digital forensics provider Paraben Corporation has released a new product designed to detect porn on a person’s computer.
According to Paraben, the average age of a person first exposed to pornography online is 11 — whether on purpose or .. cough … not.
The Paraben Porn Detection Stick scans a PC and peripherals like flash cards and external hard drives and seeks out all those nekkid pics.
“Creating a tool that empowers parents with the ability to find risks to their children was very important to me as a parent and as a professional fighting crimes against children,” said Amber Schroader, CEO of the Utah-based firm.
The product’s internal software can scan images for skin tones and body parts on 15 supported image formats. It doesn’t say anything, however, about video files.
The product is $99 and promises a 99 percent success rate.
So that still leaves, what, 10 gigs of porn on your computer?
