I have used mainly firefox as my browser and noticed a disturbing thing today.
I was filling out a form and I have the setting on that lets my browser remember so if I type a 'G' in my 1st name box it'll put in Grant in the pull down box.
The scary thing is when I typed a '1' in my address box it came back with
'1327 fairview court' which is not my address.
Playing around with the city box I found the city about 50 miles away in a town I don't live in and don't know anyone in.
It's my computer and except for my wife no one touches it but it seems like someone did and filled out a form. Any other explanations?
Is there some kind of tracability to find out when someone typed that in?
Nothing comes up when I try different letters in the name boxes
We do have a router with firewall but I use cat 5 instead of the wireless option.
Any ideas or suggestions????
Thanks
Grant
