Internet Explorer's browser history links are saved with incorrect addresses

To be more specific, my previously visited webpages get saved to my browser history with an additional set of characters at the front/beginning of every address rendering the links useless (besides using the links as a reference and then manually typing the address out.....)

The additional characters that get added to the address appear to be a fraction of my Windows User Account Name with an added "@" symbol between it and the correct link address. For example if my user account name was "Rupert" all of my browser history links would start with "ert@". A full link address in my browser history might look something like this as a result "ert@http://www.bing.com/". This causes an "Windows cannot find" error popup message instantly when I attempted to click any links in my browser history log. Any way to fix this would be nice.

PS - I have had this problem for many years on different machines (but not all) with both vista and win7 (32 and 64 bit). I believe it started back in IE8 or IE9 and remains still to this day in the most recent IE11 update.
