Hello All:

A website I visit about once everyday has recently developed a strange behavior. It was a particular link on a gaming message board (Gamefaqs to be exact). I normally clear my history/temp internet files before I shut the computer off.

Now I have noticed that a particular link will stay as visited status (color) even if I cleared the history/temp internet files. So I have tried to click on another link on the same page (it will show as visited like the link in question after I hit "back"). I cleared history/temp internet files (from IE -> Tools -> Internet Options). Hit "refresh," the other link returned back to un-visited color while the link in question still shows as visited.

Since then I have tried to clear history/temp internet files + delete offline contents, delete cookies, using the track erasers from Msft Antispyware with no result.

I have also tried this on another computer with the same link being "un-visited" after I just cleared history.

Any suggestions on what might be causing this and solutions that might help?

Thanks!
