Antivirus checking isnt really a thing. It protects only against known, old and basic malware. How would you test for something that isnt known....

Pretty sure unknown new vulnerabilities would be used to exploit things like banks and industry, not little timmy's first porngame, but I guess it's all a statistical outcome.

You don't need any special vulnerabilities to encrypt all of the user's files or to use their computer as cloud storage for your kiddie porn or to use their computer for a DDOS or to use it as a VPN endpoint or to mine shitcoins or a thousand other things I'm too tired to think of. Little Timmy just has to get creative.

I was implying Little Timmy was downloading porn not creating porn.

I believe in Little Timmy. He can do anything he sets his mind to. He shall create the most depraved porn game the world has ever seen and in turn wield the mightiest botnet to ever conquer the web!
