Security Zone Question

[Jim Reed]

I have begun to get popups thet get through my blockers (IE and Google).

When I try to add them to the restricted zone, I get a message that says they are already in another zone. But when I look at the list of web sites in the trusted zone, they do not appear.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi,
Occasionally a pop-up will make it past any pop-up blocker. If this is
happening frequently, with similar pop-ups, I would start searching for
malware.

Also, if you don't have very many Trusted Sites and could easily re-enter
them, you might run DelDomains.inf from
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm This will clear out all security
zones.
