Trusted sites

[Pete]

Does anyone know how to enable the addition of websites
to the Trusted Sites section of the Security tab in IE
6.0 SP1? I have a user on an NT 4.0 workstation who
needs to be able to add a website to her Trusted Sites
and it's greyed out. I've tried making her a local and
domain administrator to no avail. I've tried logging
onto the local mahine to attempt to add this website and
it's still greyed out. I've tried repairing and re-
installing IE and it is still greyed out. I'm sure I'm
overlooking something. Any assistance is appreciated.

This is caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)

Download, install, *update* and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items
listed in red.)

I have a user on an NT 4.0 workstation who needs to be able to

add a website to her Trusted Sites and it's greyed out.

Looks like a policies item is inhibiting that feature.
You could try searching for documentation to name the specific value
that would be doing it but it might just be quickest to identify it using
RegMon (freeware from SysInternals.)


Good luck
