I have this problem. I read other people on this forum had the same problem but there was no response as to how to fix this.

I went to a malicious site and my homepage was hijakced.

These entries were placed in my "trusted zone" setting "*.topconvertor.com" and "*.coolwinnings.com" I found out that they are adware. I deleted them from the zone.

Now every site I visit is in the "trusted sites zone." The button for "internet sites" is greyed out.

I have run adaware and have checked the host files.

Has anyone figured out how to solve this. Is this a registry issue? If so which registry entry is corrupted?
