Legal Question

Sorry to bother you but was wondering if anyone knew the score on this.
A mate of mine recently visited a celebrity site with a message board recently and one of the threads recommended a celebrity mpeg site based in the uk. My mate visited the site and it had a list of british celeb mpegs that could be downloaded, however he noticed that the banner ads on this mpeg page were highly, highly offensive and sick in the extreme to be honest.
This upset him greatly and he would also like to know if a site visitor can be held responsible for banner ads on a site he visited. I didn't know although I told him I wouldn't have thought so but wasn't sure whether a banner ad image would be resident on his hard drive or not.
Can anyone help him on this one?
Again, sorry to bother you.

they could be in the cache, to delete goto menu tools/internet options.../in the temporary internet files panel click 'delete files' button, check the 'delete all offline content' checkbox and click okay button.

alternatively goto 'c:\windows\temporary internet files' folder and select all the gifs and jpgs etc and delete them(might delete cookies).

alternatively get window washer or (jump in TMvideoproductions) evidence eliminator.

nah,nah! evidence eliminator has been proven to be 'CRAP' ill find you a couple of web sites about its badness if you want. go to www.pcadvisor.co.uk or www.pcanswers.co.uk or similer and download some freeware or trialware such as cyberscrub or eraser.5 and that will destroy all remnents of data and make it impossible to retrieve it even with hardware recovery tools. deleteing the info in windows does NOT delete the info and can be retrieved with only a simple recovery program, available free on the net and many other places ,coverdisks and the like.
