My Computer Is Acting Weird

Posted on April 8, 2008 by Luke Ford

When I do a Google desktop search of my computer for "minnie," I get a pop up asking for a user name and password for a certain site I have no affiliation with (cherylshuman.com). What does that mean?

Here’s a youtube video from my computer screen demonstrating the problem.

My McAfee anti-virus and firewall protection is up to date.

I have no reason to believe my computer was hacked. A friend emails: "If you looked at a page on a secure site and then later you use Google Desktop to search for something that was on that secure page, then Google Desktop I’m guessing might try to bring up that page but since you’re not logged in, you’d get a login screen to popup."
