Why doesn't my content advisor work anymore?

[Daniel]

It was working, blocking out porn sites. The settings
are correct, all on zero. The box for {allow users to
access sites w/o a rating} is not checked. The content
advisor is enabled, but it doesn't keep anything out, and
no longer brings a password overide box up when trying to
access bad sites. HELP?????????

I've run into the same problem. I've noticed that if I go to the approved sites box, there were 2 sites at the top of the list with blanks. I've deleted them so there's nothing in the approved web sites box, Applied, hit OK, etc. Then, when I go back into the Approved Web Sites, there they are again. No way through the GUI to get rid of these. I'm guessing they are telling the content advisor to approve the site of anything. Anybody know if these might be registry settings somewhere that could be deleted? a file

Thanks for any help.

I attempted the CA-Reset.exe program from http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/CA-Reset.exe, but, this did not help the situation. Those 2 blank approved web sites are still there
