My wife is freaking out because some searches showed up in the IE address history, searches on YouTube for "stripper" and "leather" and such. And some porn adware popped up on the computer when she booted up this morning.
How is this possible? Neither of us made these searches no one else lives here. We just installed a wireless DSL connection. Could someone else be doing this? How did the adware get on our system? I did'nt pay too much attention to the security aspect of things, maybe I should have.
Any info would be appreciated. And if you can quote some credentials that would help me convince the wife.
