Hello,

I've observed over a few weeks that I continue to find 4 restricted area protection items disabled after connecting to the internet/AOL 9.0. These items are

COOLWEBSEARCH (484) i-lookup.com
COOLWEBSEARCH (982) teensguru.com
OFFSHORE CLICKS offshoreclicks.com
XXXTOOLBAR xxxtoolbar.com

I reselect them only to find that they've yet again been disabled. This has occurred a dozen times.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

Thanks,

Gary
