Using ZonedOut for PC

ZonedOut is a 3rd party portable freeware utility which lets you Add, Delete, Import, Export websites and build a Black/WhiteList in the Internet Explorers security zones, easily.  It now includes Restricted, Trusted and Intranet Zones.

If you want to, you can add a list of ‘bad’ sites from SpywareWarrior, to your Restricted sites zone. This list is called IE-SpyAd For ZonedOut. IE-SPYAD adds a long list of sites and domains associated with known advertisers, marketers, adult-sites, krack-sites, malware pushers and crapware pushers to the Restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer. Once you merge this list of sites and domains into the Registry, the websites for these companies will not be able to use cookies, ActiveX controls, Java applets, or scripting to compromise your privacy or your PC while you surf the Net. Nor will they be able to use your browser to push unwanted pop-ups, cookies, or auto-installing programs on your PC. Please note that IE-SPYAD is not an ad blocker. It will not block standard banner ads in Internet Explorer. What this Restricted sites list of known advertisers and crapware pushers. ZonedOut simply automates the process of loading the IE-SPYAD sites list (called ie-ads) into Internet Explorer’s Restricted sites zone. If you change your mind, you can always remove this list of website/s easily using the Remove or Remove  All option from its Menu. As I always say, before making any changes to your system, it’s always best to create a system restore point, first! Additional Reads:
