Dear List,

I asked The Computer Lady this, and she suggested I bring the question
to you.  In the last week, I've noticed things showing up in my
"favorites" bookmarks that I have not put there.  I am not pleased
with what they are (sites that should be blocked!), but I'm hesitant
to interrogate my teenage son as to his knowledge of them.  I've
checked the blocking
software's history file, and they don't seem to have been accessed
until I tried the links to see what they were.  Is there some way for
these places to insert their links on my computer without me knowing
about it?  Did I pick up a virus somewhere that is doing this?  Or
should I confront my son?  I really don't think he'd be so stupid as
to find these places, then not hide them in a better spot!  They
weren't even in a folder in the favorites file - just out in the open.

I'd also be interested in knowing how to prevent this in the future,
if it is something that is happening without human help.
Hoping you have some sort of reply I'll be comfortable dealing with -

Laurie Hand
