is it possible for a virus to put porn videos onto a computer?

Technically yes, this is possible. I haven't heard of any viruses that actually do this automatically though.

If you have received an email which contains a link, it could be that clicking on the link would cause a video to be downloaded to the PC.

Also, there are some viruses which will continuously re-direct your internet browser to specific porn sites.

If you suspect you do have a virus you should ensure you have an up-to-date, reputable anti-virus programme and scan your whole computer.

If you don't have an anti-virus programme, (or if you have Norton), then you should buy a good anti-virus. I recommend BitDefender (although other Techies are known to disagree with me on this point.)

There are a number of on-line scanners which will scan your computer for free. Kaspersky is recommended at http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/virusscanner

there are viruses which (among other things) will redirect your internet browser to porn sites, or give pornographic popups
Michaels advice is good, though as he expected I disagree over his choice of Bitfender
The best cleaner I know of is the free 30-day trial of Kaspersky Internet Security, downloadable from http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/internet_security_trial
Download and scan with that. Also I would repeat our usual suggestion of scanning with Superantispyware.
After 30 days you can either pay for the Kaspersky software, or uninstall it and replace it with a combination foteh various free offers available
