Is it possible to have a Youtube or Google search result appear in Firefox history without knowing about it?
I recently found some Google and Youtube search results on my boyfriend's computer in Firefox that were "questionable" and when I asked him about them, he adamantly denied knowing what they were and said he recently had some viruses on his computer and they could have put these results on there. I don't know if this is possible or not. The only thing similar to this I've heard is viruses redirecting you to a certain site, but not to specific google and youtube results, and if that did happen, he would have to see them, right? I think it's version 11.0. HELP!!

It is possible that you have a virus that was redirecting, but if there are Google searches, and Youtube searches, it is most likely that someone did those searches.

So, I can't say for certain your boyfriend did these, but it is most likely that "somebody", not "something" did them.
