Not really. In the old days, there were apps like Back Orifice, in which you could do stuff like that. But it's been patched since the days of Win95. To do what you're indicating, someone would have to have physical access to the computer and manually load things without your knowledge. You're not going to catch a bug while watching gay midget porn that would have the capabilities of that. It's possible, but so unlikely that you shouldn't worry about it.
