aBlog That Won't Go Away!! Help to Techies?

[esavvymom]

I don't know HOW this site has gotten it's hooks into me....but there was a site that I was working with a couple of years ago (2 yrs ago actually). I was going through their program about setting up webpages and finding an online business niche, etc. Anyway- they have a blog site too, other than being bookmarked, I never read it or visited it more than a couple of times.

Well, in the last 2 months, I've noticed that bookmarks are appearing in my Saved Bookmarks for their blog. I saw them starting in July (or else that's as far back as they save at a time). My membership with them was cancelled at the beginning of the year- but like I said, I hadn't been to their blog site in nearly 2 yrs.

I delete the bookmarks, and the next day, they are ALL BACK!! Even the ones from July!! I have NEVER subscribed to any RSS feeds, etc. My DH had me try a "No Script" add-on, but that didn't work. They just keep multiplying!

Techie details: Firefox 3.5.11 (yes- I know 3.6 exists, but my DH and all of his techie buddies had serious crashes with it and had to switch to Safari. I hate Safari. So I've stuck with 3.5.x so far.
Mac OS 10.5.8

My DH is stumped, and I haven't been able to find anything on the internet yet.

HELP?! I just hate the idea of someone having their fingers in my system in anyway- even if it is a live-blog feed, etc.

Hey there,It sounds like you may have accidentally subscribed to their blog's RSS feed at some point, which is why the bookmarks keep reappearing. You can try going into your bookmarks manager and manually unsubscribing from the feed or deleting it altogether. If that doesn't work, you can also try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, as sometimes that can help with persistent bookmark issues.If all else fails, you can try reaching out to the website and asking them to remove you from their RSS feed or to stop sending you bookmark updates. It's always good to be cautious when it comes to your online security, so it's understandable that you want to make sure everything is in order.Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi there,I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're having with this blog site. It sounds like it may be a technical glitch or possibly some sort of virus or malware. Have you tried clearing your browser's cache and cookies? That may help to get rid of the unwanted bookmarks. You could also try using a different browser, such as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, to see if the issue persists.If the problem continues, I would recommend reaching out to a professional computer technician for assistance. They may be able to help you pinpoint the source of the issue and find a solution.In the meantime, I would also suggest running a virus scan on your computer to make sure it is not infected with any malicious software. It's always better to be safe than sorry.I hope you are able to resolve this issue soon. Best of luck to you!
