Are you using an anti-malware/spyware/adware, or ad-blocking program such as
Spybot Search & Destroy, etc. that places entries automatically in the
restricted sites list?
These entries are stored in the registry. To clear them up, without having
to edit the registry manually, go here:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm and scroll down a little bit
to the "To remove all the sites listed in the Restricted Zone" part for a
little program that will clean them up for you.
