Links "lose memory"

I visit a number of web sites where, when I click on a link, it turns a
different color. This allows me to avoid clicking links that I have already
been to.

It works fine for 2-3 days straight, then the links all reset their color as
if I have never visited the site. This just started 3-4 weeks ago.

Any ideas?

How long do you have the History setting configured to remember what
sites you have visited?

20 days

Install any security, anti-malware, or web browser add-ons that clear
out your host per some "privacy" settings?

I am running Norton Internet Security 2009 but have had this for 6 months;
this problem started 3-4 weeks ago. Nothing else running for
security/privacy...

Try using the Accessibility dialog's ignore colors set
by a web page option to be sure that the feature you
are looking for isn't being overridden by the site.

Post a sample link if you need more help.
