Can there be web links in Internet Explorer history without visiting those?

Friends, I have faced a major problem. There are some links in my Internet Explorer 7.0 history. What could cause these if I haven't visited those? Can something else add links to history like this? Pls explain this. Thanks a lot Sg

Hi, This could be due to redirection... If you noticed then often the webhosters makes their group and distributes links for similar content. so here might be your control was redirected to any unknown site. Is there 2-3 links like that or u getting more links..? If more than this then u should concern on ur firewall security. Have good Luck...:rose:

Jagdish, Thanks for replying. According to you, links should be for similar content. All these links refers to videos of porn sites. I haven't visit any porn site at all. So is it still this can happen?

Sounds like you might have spyware/adware/virus on your PC. Have you checked your PC for anything like that? If nothing shows up, is there someone else accessing your PC physically and going to those sites?

Hi, Thanks for giving details. Your system must have either spyware/virus attack or some one else using it during ur absense. Scan ur system with latest antivirus & antispyware. And if not then monitor ur system access. :rose:
