First off, I would follow the line of reasoning that says back off from this, if he is over the age of 16.
If he is under 16 you need to think about netnanny or some other form of cyber kid protection. And like another members said there is always a chance it was an annoying pop up that dug it's claws in his history. If this is the case installing some good deterants from this and a net nanny might make you feel that he is not going or looking at things you don't believe he is ready to fully understand.
Now I am sure this will make me sound like a total wet blanket, but I think under the age of 16, boys or girls should have some sort of supervision regarding what sort of sexually explicit material they are exposed to. I mean there were episodes of Friends that would have made me uncomfortable watching with a 15 or 16 year old. And I do respect that fact that children generally are exposed to alot of adult content much sooner than I was (I am 33) when growing up, but as a parent you have to take some responsiblity for what they are allowed to see. You may not be able to control what other families do or what he does at his friends houses on their computers, but you can control what he does in your home. And if your core values tell you that his age is too young to see that much sexually explicit material then you need to adress this in the most tech savy way possible as to not let him know you have been snooping.
