Good Morning all you lovely techie people...:D
Can someone help me with a not major but annoying problem please?.
Just lately, when i want to google something, i enter a search query or whatever, then i look at it but want to go back to the search query, i click the "back" button, but it doesnt go back, it just re~displays the same page, does that make sense?. This has been going on for about a week or more now and its getting to be very tiresome.
Have i done something that i'm not aware of?..
Is there something that i can do to "fix" this?..
Any suggestions (apart from "put it back in the box coz you're too stupid to own a computer"
) would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.

Is this happening on all sites or just google?
Do you think you may have your computer infected by a virus/malware? Although I haven't heard of these problems before... What antivirus etc. do you run?0 -

Hello Grandmaster, thank You for the reply.
It seems to be google and some other sites too, when i get on the site, it stays instead of taking me back to google, does that make sense?.
I ran a full scan just a couple of days ago and it showed nothing coming up.
I use Kaspersky security on my machines.

Which browser? can u try Firefox instead? Personally, I much prefer Avast to anything else but horses/courses
if u can, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the browser -- /0 -
Some sites will reload the information again as it's a short url that they use.

I really have no idea how to uninstall IE.
Firefox just doesnt do it for me, i'm afraid.
