    I have searched the forum, the KB and the FAQ, but couldn't find the same problem reported.

    I have spywareblaster 3.5.1 installed in 3 different machines, all running XP SP2 with IE 7 and in all machines when opening spywareblaster the zone security settings of IE are not the default anymore.

    On the same machines, i also have spybot and the same doesn't happen, eventhough both softwares update IE restricted zone site list.

    Any thoughts ? Is this a know problem ?

    Hi,

    While the IE Restricted Sites Zone will show a "custom" level of protection, SpywareBlaster actually further tightens its security from the default. (i.e. It's actually more secure than its default level of "High").

    So it's not a problem at all - your browser is actually more secure than the default. :)

    Thanks for the prompt reply and the clarification.

    What feels strange to me is that after Spywareblaster changes this security settings, setting them as my default zone security settings doesn't solve this.

    Meaning, if i redefine as IE default, the spywareblaster setting, everytime i start spyware this "not default status", happens anyway.

    Is this the expected behaviour ? Why ?

    Hi,

    I believe you're referring to the IE Security Zone option called "Default level"?

    If this is the case, that option doesn't redefine your current settings as the new default - rather, it resets your settings to the built-in IE default level.

    Best regards,
