LONDON - Sainsbury's has said it has tightened up computer security after a customer found pornography on a new laptop sold in a store in Taunton, Somerset.

According to The Sun, Kenneth Stewart was shopping for a laptop with his grandchildren, aged eight and six, when he came across a computer displaying porn.

Staff at the store said that they thought it had been uploaded via Bluetooth, which allows wireless connections between devices such as mobile phones.

The chain has now made sure that laptops are in a better monitored part of the store to prevent such incidents happening again.

However, Stewart is concerned that the teenagers he thought were behind the prank were not pursued.

He told the newspaper: "It's just not on that children of that age should be exposed to those images and I was very disappointed with the way the matter was dealt with.

"I reported the incident to a member of staff but they did not try to catch the teenagers even though they stayed in the store for at least another 20 minutes."
