   If you do a Google search for  you will find   
   literally thousands of cases where raids have taken place and people   
   have been found with this material on their computers.   
      
   In many of these cases the authorities have traced the IP addresses of   
   people whose computers have made connections to known sites that host   
   child porn. It's no use trying to claim that a bot you weren't aware   
   of downloaded it without your knowledge. If you could get off the hook   
   that easily everybody who was interested in the stuff would   
   deliberately install such a bot and use that as an excuse.
