Recent Places - files that I didn't open

[confusedwindows]

I was cleaning out my computer and when I went into recent places there was a file in there that I didn't open. There was also a lot of webpages on just one day that were in the history that I didn't go into. Both of these things happened around the same time. Is it possible that I was hacked?

Let's try this; is it possible someone you know was using the computer at that time?

No, not at all possible.

OK, so the first issue is eliminated. Have you tried doing a malware scan? I would suggest using MalwareBytesAntiMalware as the software of choice in my case. You can download a free copy from;
