Somehow this keeps getting in my registry:
hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\current version\internet settings\zonemap\domains\searchmiracle.com

Can this be thwarted by entering searchmiracle.com into the restricted sites, or on Spybot?

Spybot adds the following two (2) registry entries during the immunization process to place *.searchmiracle.com and www.searchmiracle.com in the restricted zone (SpywareBlaster also places *.searchmiracle.com into the restricted zone):


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchmiracle.com]
*=dword:00000004

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchmiracle.com\www]
*=dword:00000004
Now the questions are:
What is the actual registry entry including the dword that the following entry is set to:


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchmiracle.com]
What is identifying that entry as a possible problem and leads you to believe that searchmiracle.com needs to be placed in the restricted zone?
