Restricted Sites Confused with Trusted Sites

The 24 June version of Microsoft Antispy seems to treat a
manual entry in the Internet Explorer Restricted Sites
list as an entry in the Trusted Sites list and asks if
this "Trusted Site" entry should be blocked or allowed.
If you select "Block" then your new entry is deleted from
the Restricted Sites listing. This is not apparent until
you select "OK" and re-access the list. -MLB-

Yes, to add to information about this bug listed in the
release notes. It is a serious exploit-like problem that
is making me extremely reluctant to download Version 6.13
or 6.14 because of it.

If there is restricted site removal, especially through a
misunderstanding between "Trusted" and "Restricted", this
can lead to the system allowing malformed and drive-by
sites to load viruses, spyware, and other malicious
programs.
