History, shortcuts (possible) problem

[tuldor88]

Hello, I noticed something strange on avast secure browser.

I use it only to log in pages with bank account/payment involement, and use diffrent browser to surf on net... but today I noticed in history pages I never opened and shortcuts below search part I also never visited... anyone would explain me what's going on? Is it chacked or what?
