Visited site history

When I click on the address line and type www. and then a letter, several
addresses show up that I have not visited. They do not appear in the history
when I click on the down arrow. Where are these sites coming from? Are they
attached to another site I'm visiting? Or is someone else in my house trying
to go to sites they don't want me to know about? Thanks for the help!

The sites are a part of the history. In Internet Explorer, go to menu
Tools - Internet Options - on the General tab there is History group of
settings and the option to clear the history. History is stored in the user
profile and isn't available to the Web sites you're visiting. It is usually
accurate representation of the visited sites - yes, somebody at your
household might have visited a site that you wouldn't.

They're most likely URL's to inline advertisements or popup ads.

The URLs that you don't visit aren't recorded in the history.
