Mac history spam?
My sister has a Macbook with fully updated OSX Tiger. She has recently looked at her firefox web history and for Wed and Thur of this past week, there were many unwanted links to youtube that she had no recollection of viewing. Since I'm the geek of the household, she though I might know what it was all about. But since I'm lacking in knowledge of all things Mac (except the iPod Classic software), I though I would ask any Mac geeks here if they knew anything about viruses or spyware that a Mac could get to cause this to happen.

Sounds like her laptop is vulnerable to Mac viruses.
All seven of them.
(Okay there's a couple hundred, including the 70 or so that came out for it between 1984 and 2002, the years of OS .98 to 9.2)
Are you sure nobody else used it while she wasn't looking? Or maybe she just plain forgot?
