I have not noticed this before and I cannot find an answer searching on Google.  When clearing my browsing history I noticed "useinsider.com" - if anyone knows what it is I'll really appreciate any information, thanks.

  • Thanks very much, dogmaryxx.  I looked into the link you found for me. Although I don't  know how it got into my browsing history, and don't think I need it, is it O.K. just to ignore it or do I need to be concerned at all, thanks?

    Its one of those web services that helps personalise your experience on a website, an "Integrated Growth Management Platform", whatever one of those is.  Probably for adverts or connected to some online shop somewhere or a fancy website that does more than show some text and pretty pictures.

    Nothing to be concerned about, if you go back to the website in question it'll just load that back up again.  Ad-block may help.
  • Thanks Neil_Jones.  That's reassuring because I did wonder if there was maybe something to be concerned about.  Thank you for replying.

    Install NoScript or similar in your browser and see what websites load into the background, last time i looked at
    facebook there were about 23 other sites loaded in.

    Some forums link to Twitter for example, you dont need to look far to find them...

    Thanks, forgotmyname.  I'll check the NoScript as you suggest as it sounds really very helpful.  Much appreciated.
