When a wbsite stores cookies on my computer does that in any way effect the results of future searches or search suggestions?
I have done searches and gotten suggestions and or results from pornographic sites. Does that mean some one has used this computer to view pornography and those sites have left cookies on my computer that effect future search results and suggestions?

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

Thank you but I first want to understand if cookies left on my computer from a porn site effects my search results in the future?
It is usually best to let all cookies expire if you close Firefox and make an exception for the ones that you want to keep. Cookies only have effect if you (re)visit a website from which you have cookies saved from a visit in the past.
