Content Advisor blocks all web browsing.

I can not remove an item on Approved Sites.

The item is a blank (14 spaces) with the Never checked.

Action: Delete

Apply, OK

I go back in and the item is still there, like a virus.

Thanks
 
Hi Power Mack,

If you wish to restore Content Advisor to its original condition (because of
your kids) you can obtain a Microsoft program (CA-Reset.exe - 89.5K) to do
this here: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/CA-Reset.exe
(listed on line 283) NOTE: Using CA-Reset will completely delete your
Approved List - everything starts like brand new, so consider this before
you use it.

Follow-up with a malware cleanup. Complete information is here:

Ramesh,

Thanks, I ran the program to re-initialize the settings.

Method 2: I found a way dissect and reset the Content List using Regedit.
Start/Run/Regedit. Search on the first item in the Content List, for example
http://www.example.com. It will be unique within the Registry and the
search will bring you to the Content List with sequence 0,1,2..etc. in the
left pane. Get your barrings by browsing the list. Delete the entire folder,
ie 0, and close regedit. Go to Content Settings and you'll find the entire
content list gone.

This worked for me by removing the blank item that wouldn't go away. I ran a
Registry Optimizer after to clean up loose ends.

Later, Power Mack
