Hahahah! Sounds like "Spy Bots". FYI although you might be alone on your computer and in your room, nothing is secretative about the sites you visit on the internet!!
Certain sites have it built into their software, to "spy" on you to see where you go! "Facebook" is being rumored as one of the absolute worst and their is an investigation going on after a guy was looking for an engagement ring for his fiance and emails(spam) went out to all his "friends" that he was looking at engaement rings at some particular site in an attempt to get other's to shop there as well--I'm not sure of the exact outcome. Anyway, nothing is "free" when you register eg. myspace, facebook etc. They come with a "price" whether it be "spy bots" following you around, etc. I think that explains why I have noticed well over 1,000 viewer's on the wavetheplanet.com website in the wee hours of the morning, 1:00 - 2:00am. when I can't sleep because of a prior afternoon nap. I honestly don't think there are that many people on the site at that time, however I think that it is "spybots". I am not familiar with how much info they can gather. I suppose different ones are created under or with different programs.
OHHH, another highly important fact! Don't ever sell a computer with the "hard drive" still in it!! REMOVE IT FIRST and hang onto it!! Even it the computer is not functioning! There are "readers" you can buy for only about $20.00 that plug into the USB port of your new, working computer. You can pop the hard drive into the reader from your old computer and refer to it on your present, functioning computer. Nothing lost!
Secondly, just because you hit the "delete" button on your computer, doesn't mean that it is gone forever!!
