Spooky reg entries

[artzygal]

I my registry, under
"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains]"

I found a bunch of "CoolWebSearch" entries on the left hand side.

What does this reg key do?

[SpywareShooter]

That registry key either adds sites into the restricted sites zone or into the trusted sites zone. SpywareShooter (the download) uses that key to block CWS and other spyware pests by adding them to the Restricted Zone. Please post your Hijackthis log here if you feel that there may be a problem.

hmmm, I deleted them all, hope I didn't mess it up,,, fortunately I saved the reg key before I deleted them, I always save reg keys I alter.

[artzygal]

I mean. I deleted the ones that had CWS in it

[SpywareShooter]

If they are from a spyware blocker, you may no longer be protected from those sites. What was the DWORD value for those keys? Did it end in a 4 or a 1? (4 means restricted, 1 means trusted)

[artzygal]

they were blank,, no entries on the right side
