When I attempt to add a web site using my Per Site Privacy Actions, by
either typing or copying and pasting, only a partial address will be added
to the list. Any hint as to what could cause this?

I'm pretty sure that this list wants to contain
internet 'domain names', not specific node names. For
instance if you try to add "support.microsoft.com" to the
list, all that appears is "microsoft.com". Is this what
you're calling a partial address? If so I'm pretty sure
this is the intended functionality. In the example I
gave, every web site that ends in "microsoft.com" (such
as www.microsoft.com, windows.microsoft.com,
msdn.microsoft.com and so on) will be handled with the
same privacy rules.

Is it causing you problems or were you just perplexed?

Dave:

Thank you for replying to my message. That's the way mine are entered
also. If I attempt to adjust the setting of the entered item I get the
message "improper web address entry". I've done quite a bit of searching
and discovered Alexa had hijacked one of MSN'S Short cuts. It has been
causing me problems. Especially since Spy-Bot is supposed to be taking care
of Alexa for me. I do believe the privacy settings have been tampered with
so that their sites could not be blocked. I use that feature occasionally
and it wasn't that way before. You can check yours by blocking a known web
address and see if you can still get through. If you find out this is true,
watch this post and I will let you know what happens.

Dave: You are right about the 'domain names' to block the site completely
used the "content advisor" Thanks again for your help and advice.
