Can malware or adware cause a bookmark to appear ? On my computer under 'other bookmarks' there are several links ie 10 if them attached ( hook up up sex sites and porn ) how would these have got here if I didn't put them there?? (This is for Mozilla Firefox on computer using Windows xp)

Hi

Yes, it is possible, I have seen it happen myself (many years ago now).

I strongly recommend you have a read of and follow the advice in this article that will help you to remove any malware that may have found a home on your device.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.
