KB931768 problem - ***solved***
Windows Defender manages to do an equivalent job without
adding anything to the Restricted sites listing.

I am not suggesting not using anti-spyware products but rather not having a large amount (like 12,000+) web sites in the
restriction zone. Maybe Sandi's blog will help you understand what is going on:

So, you are suggesting that there is no need for 3rd party anti spyware if it places sites (they all do) in the restricted
zone?
SpySweeper also places many there. Removing "all" the sites is crippling what the anti spyware programs do. May as well
uninstall them all after cleaning out the restricted zone as they will no longer do what you expect them to do.
At this point I have no problem with SpySweeper so I will leave it in place, restricted sites and all. It is only SpyBot Search
and Destroy that causes the problem.

I do not know what Sites are added by what programs but Spybot adds a lot of them. I just removed them all after a backup of
course and the problem went away. Having 12,000+ sites in the restrictive zone will eventually cause problems. From what I
heard, 12,000 malware sites is a very small percentage of what is actually out there.
