Depends, how are you going to accomplish this?
Are you going to get the websites visited by a custom made application, or from another browser like Google Chrome?

'If it's from your own custom made application, i'm guessing your using the default WebBrowser control.
    Public Class MyForm

        Private Sub MyWebBrowser_DocumentCompleted(sender As Object, e As WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles MyWebBrowser.DocumentCompleted
            My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("MyHistory.txt", e.Url & Environment.NewLine, True)
        End Sub
    End Class
'If it's from another browser, such as Google Chrome, then you gotta check the history every second and compare it to the previous history check. If its the same, do nothing. If it's different then write both into a text file. Now I would give you a source code but I just found out that with the new update of Google Chrome, the history is encrypted. Same with IE 9. So unless you find a way to decipher that, this way is useless anyways.

'If you still want the source code anyways just say so and i'll write it.
