I'm running XP Pro SP 2 with IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519. In
Trusted Sites I have two very strange sites listed: http://*.0.0.0.0 and
http://*.6.132.222.51 I can remove these from the Web sites listing and
then click the OK button but when I go back in to trusted sites they
re-appear in the Web sites listing. What are these sites, how did they get
there and how can I permanently remove them? Has my system been compromised
in some way? Thanks for sharing any information regarding this issue.

Sounds like a virus has attached your computer. Is your anti-virus
software running and current? I should aslo check for adware. Yahoo
Toolbar has a good anti-spyware tool. Try running it with all the
options checked and remove everything it finds. I run this tool once a
week.

I should have mentioned that I have already made sure my virus protection is
up to date and I did a full scan. It found nothing. I also ran a current
Ad-Aware scan and it found nothing.
