Spooky reg entries

Unknown
edited December 2004 in Spyware & Virus Removal
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?

    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.

    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)
