Trusted sites

[Guest]

Why are all the web pages I visit classed as " trusted sites " [ little green
tick in bottom right hand corner] Ihave tried changing this but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated. ps I am quite a novice when it comes to
computers so please keep it simple. Thank you. Bert

Did you just remove some malware? After malware removal, opening any
website may show that Trusted Sites with the little white checkmark in
a green circle is on every page. However, using Internet Options and
checking the Trusted Sites reveals there are no sites listed. In
another instance, a green checkmark with "Trusted sites" appears in the
lower-right-hand corner of the browser window, even though no sites
have been place in the Trusted Zone (in Tools - Internet options). To
correct this:

Start>Run and type: regedit [Enter]
Navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/InternetSettings/ZoneMap/Protocol

Change http value from (2) to (3).
