HELP!!! I need answers....
I have a question that may be a no brainer, but I have to ask it.
I have found some very unfavorable cookies on one of our home PC's. I didn't have it protected as far as family content goes and certainly have my regrets about that.
My husband and I have questioned the family and naturally no one knows anything. My question is this....is it possible for things to be put on the computer from a remote location? we do have a wireless network, and I know that cookies can come from popups etc (although I have never seen popups like these ) Also, you know the thing that remembers what you have entered into search engines etc....I can't remember what it's called. It usually sets up when you first set up Windows. Anyway, I found some things in a search engine as well. Someone had to have typed those in as searches, right? Everything points to one person in particular, but we can't get a confession. This person swears they didn't look at anything like that. Do I believe it? I'd love to hear that there is a way for this all to happen without touching the keyboard, but am having a hard time with that. Any input out there?
thanks,
momomany

Who the hell actually sees popups now days? Seriously... and I gotta tell ya, from the sounds of things I'd say your the type of monkey who'd ask for help then the next day complain when all of his toolbars and adware is gone.
