The likelihood that someone compromised your system just to rename your bookmarks is approximately epsilon.
The most likely explanation is that you did it and have no memory of it; this can be caused by taking certain sleep medications, having a sleep disorder, or by other environmental conditions (like a CO leak, already mentioned).
The next most likely is that a friend or family member with a bizarre sense of humor is playing a prank on you.
It is more likely that you own a cat, who is literate and can operate a computer, than that your system was remotely compromised for the purposes of renaming your bookmarks.
- laythea 9y agoI did not say that it was for the purposes of renaming bookmarks. However, the folder in particular was a collections of links, one of which I suspected had a virus. So I named it "folder with possible virus links". I can only imagine whoever was in my computer, could not resist renaming this. I have no medication, no negative environmental conditions and I am, by normal standards, a sane individual.
