Somehow my husband's internet searches are showing up on my WORK computer, which he has never touched. What kind of corruption do I check for on both computers?

I work in a community college library in the back office. I am using a computer with the corporate version of Windows 7. On MY home computer I have Windows 8 and my Husband has a computer that has either Wndows 7 or Windows 8. Mozilla Firefox is installed on all three. My husband has never used my computer at work, but this morning I found items that he had searched that came up on my WORK computer. I am having trouble with my bookmarks having disappeared on my WORK computer and IT had me completely uninstall Mozilla Firefox yesterday. I reinstalled the newest version of Mozilla Firefox today. I still do not have any bookmarks, even after saving new ones and now I find information that my husband searched on his computer at home showing on my work computer. How can that happen and what needs to be done to fix whatever corruption seems to be going on?

Some search engines save prior searches. To stop the sharing,
each of you need your own accounts, and sign out when not active.

  • All fonts in all internet browsers are showing bold.

    All fonts in all internet browsers are showing bold. Anyone has a clue as to what I might have done wrong?

    Upon carefully looking at the fonts in my fontbook, I noticed that the font which is commonly used on the websites was missing all other kinds except its bold version. How did they get deleted beats me. Anyhow, I have now installed the regular, italic, and bold-italic versions of the font and it is all back to normal. ccccc

  • My mac mini is running slow.  Bought it in 2009.  Activity monitor shows nothing running that should not be.  Someone suggested it might be my operating system?  Check for software updates, and I am current.  Suggestions?

    My mac mini is running slow.  Bought it in 2009.  Activity monitor shows nothing running that should not be.  Someone suggested it might be my operating system?  Check for software updates, and I am current.  Suggestions?

    Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts?
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive in Disk Utilty by highlighting the Drive & looking at the bottom of the window.

  • What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    Just an FYI.  The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before.  Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:

    The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini.   It is no bigger than many an external hard drive.  But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately.  They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display.   Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer.   I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues.  Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

    Why am I unable to connect to the internet? I am next to my main computer which has no problems.

    Try the iPad forum, then:

    You'll need to include full details, including the model of iPad, the version of iOS, the exact nature and symptoms of the problem, and what if anything you've tried for correcting the problem.

  • I get emails from ebay showing my followed searches, no piks are showing, just the hot-link. (I used to have this) whats changed?

    right now just my e-bay e-mails do not show the piks of the items I am following. I used to get these. But since my last update of t-bird and firefox....no more. I have tried to research this here but have not found a solution. This has got to be something simple.

    To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try both of the following:
    *Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
    ; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

  • What is the easiest way to check for internet connection in C#?

    Hi!
    I searched a lot but I didn't get my answer. I'm looking for the easiest way to check for internet connection. Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Pouya Ebrahimzadeh,
    I suggest you could connect a site to check if it can be opened.
    Public Shared Function CheckForInternetConnection() As Boolean
    Try
    Using client = New WebClient()
    Using stream = client.OpenRead("https://msdn.microsoft.com/")
    Return True
    End Using
    End Using
    Catch
    Return False
    End Try
    End Function
    If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

  • How can i get a refined internet search, only show words that are used in search request

    Can i get a refined search. For example, show only the words that have been entered in the searchbar

    Hi,
    You can try putting the word or phrase inside double quotes (" "). I think this would work in most search engines.

  • Under my website data (Settings, Safari, Advanced) there are websites using a lot of data which I have never visited before. Several of these listed sites are for tracking internet usage.  Has my phone been compromised? Is there any other explanation?

    I have recently discovered a website called bluecava operating on my iphone 4s, according to my website data log.  I've never been to this site, but according to my data log this site is using a lot of data, along with other sites which I have never visited before. Does anyone know anything about bluecava (I've done my research, but I'm not finding information about individuals using this to track someone), or have any other explanation for seeing un-visited sites on my data log?
    Someone recently mentioned phone "cloning" to me, meaning that my iphone may be accessed remotely.  Any information is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks a ton!  Yeah, I didn't know about any of this until I had reason for legitimate concern.  People should be aware of what's available.  Someone intent on tracking you won't mind paying bluecava to do it for them...
    I'll definitely be updating my browser as well.  However, Lawrence, I did find during my research that bluecava DOES NOT operate based on cookies.  It uses your IP address to consistently track patterns of behavior, even
    within multiple devices of one household, so that deterring the tracking is not as simple as turning off cookies to a site.  (See screenshot below from bluecava.com)
    If you go to the bluecava site's privacy policy, you can actually opt-out, however, blogs have criticized bluecava for not explaining exactly what happens when a user opts-out.  It may be beyond our control...

  • My keychain passwords are showing up in a friends computer.

    Hi.
    I recently helped a friend upgrade from OSX 10.6 to Mavericks. Everything went smoothly until we went to log her in to some of sites like her email or Facebook.
    When she tried to log onto Facebook, my login information autofilled.
    I've never entered any of my information onto her computer and I can't figure out why that would be happening. My only guess is that my computer was on the same network at the time were setting hers up.
    Does that make sense?
    I'm guessing resetting the keychain might work but she's a client so i don't want to get this wrong.
    Any help in the right direction would be really helpful.
    Thanks in advance for your time.
