Strange sites in my registry

<< < (2/3) > >>

m_s:
I wondered if this might be related to your Hosts file, so I did a Google search on one of the registry locations (yes, I have these URLs in my registry too), and it turns out they are put there by Internet Explorer security settings - here's a link to a MS site: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=182569#XSLTH4192121124120121120120

f0dder:
Hmm, didn't think Opera had the kind of security holes that lets sites add themselves to the "trusted zone" (which I believe is what those registry entries are all about).

mouser:
doesnt it seem more likely that they are in a list of sites that are initialized as being NOT trusted.

m_s:
That's how the Hosts file works, so that's what I figured they must be.

No, the hosts file simply overrides normal DNS name resolution.
