    I use IE6 Content Advisor to allow the kids access to just a few sites, but last evening a green checkmark started appearing in the approved sites box that has no other identification alongside it. I highlight and remove it, only to have it reappear immediately when I open the window again.

    Since it has appeared, Content Advisor no longer works- allowing access to all sites as though Content Advisor were disabled- which it's not.

    I have anti-virus, ran the Ad-Aware and Spybot with no success. Does this sound like a malware issue? I've found nothing like it anywhere on the internet.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
