Hi Wills,
I think you answered this Question by the previous Question for blocking
websites that are known to harbour viruses, your computer is infested by
malwares and Viruses scan for them and you can use the Content advisor and
set a password then assign the forbidden sites there and who allowed access:
"HOW TO: Use the Internet Explorer 6 Content Advisor to Control Access to
Web Sites in Internet Explorer"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310401
But First go through these steps:
1 - Open the Run Command and type in:
explorer.exe click [OK] does this bring up any thing?.
"Process Explorer for Windows v10.21"

2 - Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:

Click on General Tab (1st Tab on the left) and you will see a Button called
[ Clear History ..] click on it to clear your History caches, then click on

later and see which is the culprit or you can send them here in your next
post) and click [OK] to confirm your Changes.
Click on Advanced Tab and scroll down under the browsing option and uncheck
this box:
