Restricted Sites - Empty List

G

Guest

Hi

Following recent work to remove some malware/adware from this laptop, the
restricted sites list is now empty. Is there anyway of updating this list?
I have run windows update and it is not offering me anything to fix the
problem.
Thanks
Rob

Restricted Sites

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones

The Zones key contains keys that represent each security zone that is
defined for the computer. By default, the following five zones are defined
(numbered zero through four):

Value Setting
------------------------------
0 My Computer
1 Local Intranet Zone
2 Trusted sites Zone
3 Internet Zone
4 Restricted Sites Zone

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

The Domains key contains domains and protocols that have been added to
change their behavior from the default behavior. When a domain is added, a
key is added to the Domains key. Subdomains appear as keys under the domain
where they belong. Each key that lists a domain contains a DWORD with a
value name of the affected protocol. The value of the DWORD is the same as
the numeric value of the security zone where the domain is added.

If they have a Value Data of 4 they are in the Restricted Sites Zone.

Example >>>

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\008i.com
Value Name: *
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 0x00000004 (4)

This is the list of Restricted Sites from >>>

IE | Tools | Internet Options | Security tab | Restricted Sites |
Sites button | Web sites

Sites button
[[Click this to add a Web site to the currently displayed zone.]]
