    Hi Laxmee,
    No, I don't think so. I am having both laptop and desktop and also have a wireless internet connection through D-link. One can check the sites viewed or pages/files viewed only if we share the same computer.Let's wait for experts inputs about the same.

    Hi Laxmee,

    Are you using a secured wireless network? If yes, then your friend will not be able to check your browsing history with a normal wireless modem setup. If you have a proxy server setup at home (quite rare), then your browsing history will be available in the proxy server logs.

    If your wireless connection is not secured, then anyone who can connect to your wireless network can use sniffing software to get your browsing history.
