Any of you guys know the answer to this.
On quite a number of pages on sites, particularly ones that update frequently eg nes sites, if I try to go back a page I find nothing happens and when I look at the history there are a raft of entries for “http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.jp”.
I suspect that it’s a link to a twitter icon on the page, but I don’t have a twitter account and don’t want one.
I also suspect that it’s something in my settings (eg running scripts etc) that needs to be altered to stop it trying to load and/or run this. But it’s really frustrating that I have to scroll way down my history to get back to where I was one page before.
Anyone any ideas (and I’ve already done a fair bit of Googling to try to find an answer) :angry:
Probably something you have already considered but if its annoying you that much just change your browser.
I switch between versions of IE & Firefox frequently to avoid a pile of browsing problems.
I think that “platform.twitter.com/widgets.jp” is something to do with people putting a follow button for their twitter profile on a website.
So alternatively avoid anyone with a twitter account and you will be just fine.
That general rule works well for me in everyday life as well.
Have started using Google Chrome, and much as I hate to say it (I loathe companies who shove their products down your throat) I’ve had no problems whatsoever since
Go on
Start
Run
Type in MSCONFIG and look at what processes you are running while your computer is switched on then google each and every one to see if you need them running. I can guarantee there will be loads you don’t need.
Also clear your cache.
Keep hold of the back arrow and go onto show history, There will be a button to to clear it from the beginning of time.
I would also recommend CCleaner, Very useful free programme to have, Not only clears hidden caches but fixes some minor issues too.
Already have minimal processes running, Yozzer – I cleared out startup ages ago.
I have history deleted every time I log out of IE (days to keep history = 0).
Have used CCleaner in the past, and have even tried Malwarebytes to check there’s no malware.
As I said using Chrome as browser seems to improve things.

I use a lot of cleaners and have managed to get product keys for a few expensive ones. All have their uses but for malware there is a free one that is head and shoulders above any of the ones you have to pay for. This programme has got me out of many a problem and it literally detects ANY kind of bug, trojan or security breach of any kind.

Would recommend Advanced System Optimizer for clearing, fixing and fragmenting any other issues. I use it and am very happy with it. I got it illegally from you tube. Don’t know if the vid is still there but someone shows you how to get the full version. You can just never update it because it gets wormed out as a duplicate. I did it once and had to go through the whole process again.
