Today, for the first time, *.0.0.0.0 appeared in my trusted site list *
without * my having added it. Further, even after I remove it from the
trusted list, it reappears the next time I invoke the trusted site dialog.

My questions are: 1)How did this start? 2) What sites does it signify that
I'm trusting? 3) How can I remove this address?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks for your reply, Frank. However, I don't quite understand how it
relates.
1. I run Spybot and I still have the problem.
2. I still don't have a clue as to how vulnerable, the *.0.0.0.0 setting
might make me.
