My entire internet history just spontaneously decided to delete itself. This is the second time it's happened, and I need to know 1) why it did so, 2) how to prevent it from happening again and, most importantly, 3) how to get it back.

install gentoo

stop letting 14 year-olds use your computer to watch porn

Any way to go about this without having to download anything?

I'm the only one who uses it.

Stop being a 14 year old who watch porn without incognito mode

Ignore him, it's just a shitty meme.

I would say someones got your back user.
But seriously, your history is normally tied to your temp folder. Anti viruses that try and "optimize" your computer performance usually just delete temp files. My advice, stop using Norton/AVG

Let me guess, you're using Firefox?

I've done none of the above.

>having history enabled at all
are you stupid or somethin m8

So how do I recover it? And how do I disable the auto-"optimize" feature?

>AVG

Flying Tigers?

Nope, if I were I would've used this image to start the thread.

install gen 2

run a data recovery program and pray that the sectors with your browser history haven't been overwritten yet

If you're lucky it would have ended up in your recycling bin but most Anti Viruses aren't that forgiving. It's been a while since I used AVG so I'm not sure. I think they added some sort interface over the core program or something. You'll have to go into advance settings and go to scans. There should be an option somewhere there for optimization.

I don't have one of them.

>AVG

I don't know what that is.

maybe it would help if you at least told us what browser you're using, dumbass-kun.

Internet explorer.

Bracing for flames...

install gentwo

What's AVG?

anyone got a good idea for blocking web BS?
i think ad blocker is shit

Is that meant to be an insult?

Sensible chuckle

Why is it stupid?

How else is he supposed to return to webpages of interest?

Well? I've answered your question; what now?

IE history is used by many applications other than IE and it's closely related to the OS to some extent, i think even Chrome hooks up to it to some degree. Windows' Disk Cleanup utility deletes your IE browsing history so if its hooked to a scheduled task it will sweep it along the way from time to time

Get a real browser next time, or stop using ancient windows versions

How do I disable that function and recover what it deleted?

>How do i disable that function
I don't know what version of Windows you're using, what version of IE you're using and what retarded shit you might have installed on your computer, you had a window for free help as charity for dumb bitches but since you insist of being a dense fuck and think we're psychics you're way past it already, next time read the sticky

You needn't be rude.

Because there's no way to or because you refuse to assist any further?
