Why would this happen? I am double-counted each time I click on a thread...

Why would this happen? I am double-counted each time I click on a thread...
It started happening about a month ago and from multiple internet locations (my house, friends house, parents house). Each time I click on a thread, the "views" goes up by 2 instead of 1. I tried it on this website (older threads with no one on them) and several other forums that use a "views" counter for their threads and the result was the same.

I have informed close family members and am currently enlisting the help of a friend that works in the "field" to help identify the problem...

Is it unreasonable to think that my affiliation with this website has led to my computer being "monitored"? Would there be any other logical explanation?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Nah man it really is another view.

You're lucky to ever catch something around 0 or 1 views here...

Unless you're ME.

I tried it on completely dead threads that are over 5 years old...and I tried it on other forums. So it is kinda hard for me to brush it off as "just another view" by someone else...I am not talking about "new threads" but how the counter goes up twice each time I click on ANY thread. But thanks for the reply

Yes, but its a brand new computer...I don't see any logical reason for me to have something "attached" (spyware, etc) to my computer cause I have made a serious effort to avoid "sketchy" websites or anything that would garner attention

Maybe it's counting your keylogger as another hit.

Okay, thank you very much. I appreciate it.

I am taking it up to the IT guys at the police department where my father works, and I have my friend that is also gonna take a look at it.

I suppose it is just weird feeling to think that I am being "watched" and actually having some sort of confirmation of it....

It's not just you who's being watched is the thing...

It's like, WHOLE internet now, and even TVs are connect to the net these days and they have cameras on them...

Some of them thar gaming system even have a camera that points out into your damn living room and tracks your movements all the time. Not to mention all the microphones...

Everyone is being monitored.

Please don't take this the wrong way, because I really appreciate your help...

But are you double-counted when you go on a thread? If it is that prevalent, why have people not noticed it or brought it up? If the technology is in all new systems, it should be affecting more than just me (or a small handful of people) and other people would have seen it too...methinks it may be a different type of "bug" than the ones that come "standard" now in everything.

Is it illogical to think that it may be different?

Yeah I figure everyone is monitored to a certain degree. I just thought it was weird that the counter recorded twice every time I click on a thread, regardless of forum (not just here).

If others had experienced the double counting, I would be more inclined to believe it was "standard" monitoring...but if anyone has had the same issue, please fill free to speak up. I want to take all the info I can to my guy when I get my comp looked at.
