Internet Explorer History

Comment:
For some reason, my Internet Explorer history disappears every time I close the program. I'm not using TweakUI or anything similar to delete the history so I'm at a complete loss. I've checked my History folder within Documents and Settings and it contains nothing as far as I can see.

Go to tools, internet options, General Tab, History and see if the amount of days it is held is "0" if so move it up! This might help

Take a look at this and see what you think>>> History - Not Being Saved
McAfee gave this solution to the bug where VirusScan 6 stops your Internet Explorer History file working. Hope it is of some help:
Open VirusScan console Select "Pick a task..." Select "Change my VirusScan settings" Select "Configure VShield background scanning" Select "Customise your VShield settings"
Select the "Internet Filter" icon from the icons down the left hand side On the "Detection" tab, in the 'Applet filters' section, remove the tick next to "ActiveX Controls".
