    Not sure what exactly your trying to describe. What has happened that you suspect another account has been created or used on your machine?

    Your history shows what sites were visited on your PC. So its probably that someone looked up that person's profile.

    If they were in your history, it means someone visited those sites. Again, your history is a record of sites visited.

    Are you thinking there's something special about profiles, as though the people in the profiles are doing something bad? The profiles themselves aren't there. It's just a page, like any other page. You'll find this page in your history as well.

    While a virus might make the browser go to a specific page (which would show in your history), if there's someone else in the household, anyone could've gone to those pages. Looking at profiles isn't some big deal. I can look at your profile on this site and it'll show in my history. Doesn't mean anything.
