An 11-year-old boy had his laptop repaired under warranty; imagine his surprise upon finding images of a woman and a dog doing some rather adult things. These images were stored on his supposedly-new hard drive.

The boy's father, Kenny Morris, who collected the repaired machine, was told by PC World that a "brand spanking new" hard-drive had been installed on the laptop.

However, Morris told the Courier that "my son was on the laptop the next day and there were porn images with animals and women flashing up. It's pretty sick. This was serious stuff and you're talking about an 11-year-old boy."

An infuriated Morris claimed that PC World later admitted a second-hand hard-drive had been used for the repair.

Despite having paid for insurance on the laptop, Morris said he is still waiting for a replacement machine for his son over a week since he alerted PC World to the incident.

He told the Courier: "They are selling these insurance policies and are lying to people. They said the hard drive was new."
