invasion of Favorites

Posted: 08-27-2003, 03:14 AM
Someone please help. I never, ever use the Favorites
feature in IE. Never. Suddenly, I have two pornographic
sites in my favorites list. How did they get there?!?
How can I prevent this??!?!? and NO, NO ONE else uses my
computer.

This is an urgent plea. Please help. Even if these were
not pornographic, I would feel invaded. NO ONE has a right
to change my settings, ESPECIALLY if they are someone on
the Web.

I have 5 separate users with passwords set up on my
computer. Each time someone logs on, including my
grandchildren, two porn sites get loaded into the
favorites of IE and frequently the web pages are
displayed, all unsolicited. I delete them. Shut down the
computer, Reboot, Log on, and they are there again. I
have tried to block them in IE "unapproved sites" to no
avail How do I get this to stop?
