Hi,
Webroot SpySweeper may prevent SpywareBlaster from enabling Restricted Sites protection. The following work-around should allow you to enable protection in SpywareBlaster:
1.) Disable the SpySweeper "IE Security Shield".
2.) Open SpywareBlaster and enable all protection.
3.) Re-enable the SpySweeper "IE Security Shield".
If you find this workaround is too much trouble every time SpywareBlaster updates, you can also just disable the IE Security Shield in SpySweeper permanently until the issue is fixed.
(And, if you are a customer of Webroot, please e-mail them about the conflict and let them know - thanks! :))
---------
Also, some other anti-spyware programs may detect the Restricted Sites entries (a false-positive detection) and remove them.
A list will be put up shortly of programs that may exhibit this problem.
Best regards,
