pacrat, which browser are you talking about?

Posted by zork Sep 14 '13, 10:42

chrome uses the address bar as a search box also, so you'll get suggestions from your history, bookmarks, and from a google search.

I don't think that IE or FF do that (at least not without an extension) but if you have some malware, it might have added some favourites/bookmarks without your knowing and buried them a couple of folders deep. Or, maybe there is malware that can just highjack the address bar outright.

- try installing and running spybot to see if it comes up with anything -- nm - zork Sep 14, 11:32
