[QUOTE="FinerWine, post: 1000860, member: 144270"] I lent my MacBook Pro to my friend two days ago and just got it back. After browsing through the web history to find a page I was on the week before, I noticed that he had been frequenting several porn sites and possibly using the computers webcam. He downloaded a couple files which he didn't take the time to delete from my Downloads folder, and as a result, I'm quite annoyed. I'm a fairly new Mac user, so I'm not sure what to do to protect my computer. I downloaded MacScan and ran a full scan (which revealed 2 tracking cookies, nothing really extreme) and that's all I've done so far. Should I look into changing my IP address if he potentially used pay sites? Is that even possible? I need this computer to last me a good while, help me Mac OSX Forum, you're my only hope! [/QUOTE]
