Can't unblock a mistakenly restricted site

I was trying to stop pop-ups that were slipping by, and in
frustration I tried restricting the site, not realizing it
would restrict all access. I removed the site from the
list, restarted, checked all security settings, even added
it to the trusted sites list- still no go. Every time I go
there, it has the red icons at the bottom, saying it's
restricted. WTF? I realize this may have nothing to do
with the anti-spyware tool, which I love, by the way,
warts and all, so far. But it might, too.

In Internet Options, Security tab, I added it to and then
removed it from the Restricted Sites. Also added it to the
Trusted Sites, there. Checked in the same section of SP2
Security, just to make sure.

Well, that was freakin' weird. Checked again, just to make
sure, and there it was: one of the websites I had entered
(to try to block the pop-ups). I had looked through that
list several times, which was hard cuz of all the
obscenities, and couldn't see it before. Sorry to waste
your time. (It's working again.) I blame the dang computer
pixies.

RB,
You need to feed the computer pixies better.
Thanks for letting us know that all is well.
