How do viruses effect your history file?
« on: September 18, 2005, 07:24:09 PM »
If your computer is infected with viruses and spywear, is it possible for the viruses and spywear to cause websites to show up in your online history file, even if you did not personally visit the websites?

    shay31........Well when it comes to computers ....anything is possible, but after saying that .......I have never seen a virus or spyware put entries in the history file ..........The history is propagated
    by visits to websites or folders inside the pc .
    Perhaps someone is trying to snow you ...........

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.
