In my browsers history there are porn pages.I know I did not look at these.could these have been put there by a "browser hijacker"? Please help, it's of the up most importance to me. I right clicked on properties and it broght up no date and time.
I used to be able to click on the arrow to the right of my browser bar to see previous web search history. I can't do this any longer, clicking on the arrow has no response.
nephew stayed with us for a month and accessed a number of adult sites on our computer. Now, when we enter certain first letters in the address line, the names of several of those sites show up even though he (and we) have gone to "Tools" and "Cleared History." They are not ... as far as we can tell ... in our "Favorites", so how do we get rid of these references? They're mighty embarrassing.
I have been receiving emails from my contacts saying they are getting links to porn sites from my computer as 'instant messages'. I know it isn't me and the program hasn't been used/opened for weeks.Googled around and found this is not uncommon but cannot find any real answers as to how to stop this. Maybe this has been brought up here before but didn't find what I was looking for.
Hello, I have not had use of my main computer for about two weeks. I would preface this with the fact I am not proficient with computers as so many programs assume one is and I am 76 years old, a retired educator with advanced work, but at this point I am exasperated to say the least.
I had my computer on working when suddenly things went sorta crazy giving me the impression what I was attempting to get off my computer was an invasion of hard core porn, a virus, and a security program I had never heard of. My screen went black and could not be rebooted at all. I came to this spot, got a little advice, but it did not solve my problem. I found a program I thought would help, paid for the extras, but found it was not as indicated. It said it had help 24/7 (not) and expects one to know computers to use it. It says they have a "WE fix it for you" portion. How that works I have not figured out yet. The phone numbers given are not for service but are for some group this program is published thru I think. After a lot of By guess and By gosh I did manage to get to a home page that showed icons that gave me the interpretation of their pictures and names were as I suspected exactly. I finally got the program for security to desist. The screen disappeared to precipitate my efforts to use the PowerSuite 2010 (their help is by internet), CA Suite 2008 which I had paid to update to current time, My XP disc that wanted to doubt I owned and requested I put Windows 98 in to prove it and then it was on a merry-go-round asking me to insert the previous disc in whichever one it was. It has said XP was not right I am sure because the computer came with Windows XP Media which I had updated
Don't know where to post it so i will post it here anyways. I want to block particular words like games, porn etc in any search engine so people don't mess around with my pc. Is this possible if so how?
I let a nephew used my computer, and I found a lot of porn stuff in the temporary Internet files. This is my office computer and lately, I had been notice strange noises, and like something is starting (?) This morning the PC cannot find my DVD drive, I used the "restored" function, and it founded. Need some help to make sure I don't have "something" that it's not supposed to be there.
Is there any way to have a default Browser? I want every program that has links to open up in say. Firefox, I have tried setting it as my default browser in the settings option, and in "Set programs access and defaults". It works quite well... But can I get MSN Messenger to open up in that browser? When I click on my e-mails or MSN Space Etc. It opens up in Internet Explorer. Is there ANY way to open it in my default browser?
I am half way computer literate, but this one has me. I am hoping someone can tell me where to look. When I open Internet Explorer, my home page (www.google.com) opens.When it is finished loading, it automatically redirets to yahoo mail login page. The catch is, all my browsers windows that are open will be changed too. If I hit "stop" before the page is loaded, then hit "refresh", this action does not occur. I have Microsoft updates automatically downloade do my computer. I have the latest MacAfee anti-virus on my computer and have run the latest scan. I have run Microsoft beta spy-ware, ad aware and yahoo's version. I am not seeing anything.
Get rid of that history. There is no good that can come of it. It will only take up space and allows any cleaver person to find out exactly what web sites you have visited.
How do I set the history on my PC to keep more then 1 day to view? I used to be able to select a number of days but not anymore? I currently use Internet Explorer 8 and have Windows XP. When I click on History and View by Date it still doesn't give me the option to keep anymore then the current day.
I have Windows XP, SP2, and I was wondering how do I check where my teenage son has been surfing????? I've checked Temp files and I just see a bunch of numbers. I would like to see something that looks like different web sites or a list of cookies that give me a name.
I have been doing some searches for files on my machine running windows XP and I'd like to delete the history of those searches... is there a way to do this? I'm NOT computer literate.
I have an odd issue where every time I delete my Internet Explorer 7 browser history, my Run box history is also deleted at reboot. If I do not delete IE7's history, Run history stays at reboot.I have searched quite a bit for a solution but just can't find any working solution and why my XP is doing this.I have another computer with XP Pro SP3 also and it doesn't behave in that manner at all.I have tried the solution HERE to no avail. I have Tweak UI and the option Clear document history on exit in the Explorer section is unchecked.I'm also not running any Cache Cleaner of any sort.
All of a sudden the search history from google search bar has disappeared. Normally the earlier search pages showed a drop down menu. The Address bar however works normal.
Ok I think a family member has been logging onto my PC without my permission. I have put password access into my PC but I think they have somehow gotten around it. So I changed my password BUT is there any software that can tell me what date and time someone logged onto my system?
my IE6 browser did not show any history items at all. for every day it just shows:Day/My Computer and nothing else. i think it may be because i Had McAfee security center when i got the pc first. however, i have long since uninstalled this programme and now, after looking at many of the solutions on this site, they seem to be geared at those still using the programme. i did find some article on another site that had a good link to tips on how to restore history but after following the 1st step (see below) i had to close all browser windows and cant find the site again! (ironically if history worked i wouldn't have this problem!!) what i did get done was to make a regedit change. i went to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/INTERNET EXPLORER/MAIN there, i was told to change the value of Save_Session_History from "no" to "yes". this did happen to have an effect. now the history file ("Day"/My Computer /...) does have url details but they are not usable (an error appears if you click on them).
I am cleaning out my computer and trying to deleet lots of junk.The only thing i cant clear out is the stupid giant, long list of serch results i have typed in the yahoo search bar.I ran ace utilities and stuff like that to clean out history, and other junk, but i cant get rid of all the diff things ive typed in the yahoo search bar.I've went under internet options on the menu up to top.Cleared my cookies, history, tempory internet folder but it wont go away.
I am running XP Home. When I go to windows explorer every thing works OK with the exception of when I click on the history folder. Then I get an error message asking if I want to send the error to Microsoft. I have tried to click �send� and the whole PC freezes until I hit control-alt-delete and hit end task. I have run anti virus and spyware with no negative results.
I use the Firefox browser, but from time to time I have to use Explorer's. As of late I've found that every time I use Explorer my address bars history has been cleared.
when i type in the google box or any box a history a list drops down of eveything ever typed in how do i delete these and stop it remembering everything
