When I search a keyword in finder, my Mac somehow digs up all my old files from my Windows computer. As far as I know I never transferred the files to my Mac, but why is this happening??? It's sorta creeping me out.

Are you perhaps using the hard drive from your old PC as a spare drive for the Mac? Or are you networked to the PC from your Mac? Maybe you have sharing turned on also?
