Browser History filling up when closed
Hello All,
I have recently encountered an issue with Explorer and all my avenues to handle it have failed, so here we go!
A week or so ago, I noticed a ton (Very long list) of weird ads and sites in my browser history. I cleared my history and closed Explorer. 5 minutes or so later, after not opening Explorer at all, I opened my browser, and bam!, full of bookmarks for weird sites. I've tried updates, spyware detection, MalwareBytes, Anti-virus even "un-updating Explorer" with no dice. I also tried the instructions listed in this post:

NO LUCK! I am at my wits end! As of right now, after clearing my history, I have 15 bookmarks to various websites I've never heard of and even a few random IP Addresses. Its almost like Explorer has a mind of its own. Does anyone out there have any ideas?
