Adware Detection - unblocking websites?

[AlexW]

I ran Microsoft Anti-Spyware and it reported finding
SearchSquire at the regiistry location
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchsquire.com
However, this appears to be the list of blocked sites
that can be set in the settings area for internet
explorer. If you remove this "adware" as suggested I
suppose you are no longer blocking the said site.
My question is: is this registry setting the one for
blocked sites in the internet explorer settings? If so,
this would be a bug in the spyware program since it
would "unblock" blocked sites.

It's not a bug, it's a false positive. It's been reported in this forum
many times over the last week or so. I'll bet by now the folks at MS are
looking at it.

I'll second that. The reason it's in there is to put it
on the RESTRICTED sites list.

I set it to "Always Ignore".

The software shouldn't alert on something placed on the
RESTRICTED sites list UNLESS, of course, putting it on
there would be a suspected spyware activity, e.g.,
putting "Windows Update" on the restricted list.
