Dodgy websites in registry
Under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/InternetSettings/P3P/History and /ZoneMap/Domains.
I know nobody in our house is responsible for these because...we don't have an internet connection and never have. The PC has been repaired three times so this is the only time it could have been linked to the net.
Anyhow. Does this mean my repair company have been using my PC to look at porn, or is it something more innocent? I would delete the lot but don't know if it is safe to do so. I will run SpyBot, and my virus checker hasn't found anything. Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
PS It isn't just porn - I got software download and casino sites too - wooo!

I notice that the same websites appear in the restricted sites section of Internet Options. Could this be some leftover of another anti-spyware package, or an old version of SpyBot? Anyway, here's my HijackThis logfile:
