I am running Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 and have noticed something
quite strange over the past couple of months. The bookmark in my favorites
list for foxnews.com is deleted every few weeks. At first I thought I was
just having another "senior moment" and didn't think much about it. Then it
happened again and I took notice. It has happened 4 times now in the last
couple of months and I have become very suspicious that there might be some
political issues at play here. No other bookmarks are deleted, only foxnews.
I have a clean up to date operating system with no viruses and I am a very
experienced in technology. Any ideas as to what is going on?

Are there any foxnews haters that have access to your computer, or could
have set up a script to delete these links on a regular basis?

-Paul Randall

No one else has access to my computer. I know this sounds paranoid but I
have watched this carefully over several months and only this one bookmark
is deleted on a regular basis. I was hesitant to post this question because
I know how it sounds. I was just curious if anyone else had noticed
bookmarks being deleted.

Hi,
Do you sync Favorites using the Live toolbar and a Skydrive account?

How's that work?
