Re: domain removal

Why did you delete anything from the registry?

If you deleted any of the registry entries I listed in my
earlier response then you totally misunderstood the point I was
trying to make. The porn sites you saw listed in the registry
were put there by SpywareBlaster so that Internet Explorer
cannot open those web sites. In other words, seeing those sites
listed was a good thing. It meant that SpywareBlaster was
preventing your PC from accessing those sites.

Go back and check SpywareBlaster. See if the restricted sites
are checked. Also go to Start -> Control Panel and double click
Internet Options. Click on the Security tab. On the Security
page, click on "Restricted Sites" and hit the Sites button. You
should see all the sites that SpywareBlaster is blocking listed
there.

If you need to restore the registry settings you deleted, you
should use XP's System Restore feature as a first option before
resorting to a clean install.
