    Confused on How One's Actions From a Website Could Affect Another PC

    How could one’s actions on a website can affect someone else’s PC & yet no info about that person was given out nor any info about the PC was given out too & still affect the other person’s PC?

      Here’s an Example: I was using 2 dating sites 1) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2) xxxxxxxxxxxxx and ever since I been using them, my Aunts Facebook Page kept messing up & Fraud Tech guys kept calling our house saying my Aunts PC was infected. But I never gave out any of my Aunts info nor any info about her PC to any ladies on those sites. How could that be happening when no info was given out?

        why would you think there was any connection between what you did on your PC and how your Aunt is now being effected?
        it could be pure coincidence?
        on your PC, did you have your Aunt’s details, perhaps you have been infected and they got her details that way - long stretch but really, who knows.

            In Australia we call that Scamming, and most of us are quite rude to the callers before hanging up.
