"...on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly."
If you've put sites into the Trusted Sites zone, set ActiveX items to Enable and you're still seeing the above warning, that likely indicates that the sites you're visiting are pulling content from multiple sources. In other words, you visit www.site.com, but that site is displaying banner ads, Flash ads or some other obnoxious bit of garbage from ads.scam-artists.com. You can put site.com in your Trusted sites zone, but any ActiveX controls being pulled from scam-artists.com will still fall in the Internet zone (or the Restricted zone, if you've put scam-artists.com in that zone). A "Mixed" zone icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the IE window is a good tip-off that this is happening.
Example: If the page your receiving the warning from is loaded with Flash ads, it's undoubtedly macromedia.com that's causing your problem. If you've already got www.xxxx.com. in your Trusted sites zone, then the problem is this: either you've got macromedia.com in your Restricted sites zone, or you've got the Internet zone configured to disallow ActiveX controls.
Remedy? Enter macromedia.com and any other third party sites that the page uses into your Trusted Sites zone, if you want to go that far.

How can I tell which entry/website is causing the problem?
-------------------------------------
Web pages can draw content from multiple sources, including third-party sources. Thus, for example, you might visit www.cnn.com and encounter a widget on that page that doesn't work, but that widget isn't being drawn from cnn.com (which isn't even IE-SPYAD). In this case, you'll have to identify the sources for the content on cnn.com's home page. It's likely that the widget is being pulled from some third-party source (say, doubleclick.net) that IS in IE-SPYAD's list of Restricted domains and servers. If you can identify the source for content that isn't working, you can then remove the entry which is causing the problem from the Restricted sites zone.
It can be a bit tricky to identify all the sources for a web page's content. One good tip-off that a web page is drawing content from multiple sources is the "Mixed" zone icon that you might see in the bottom right-hand corner of Internet Explorer. A "Mixed" zone means that a web page is drawing content from multiple sources which fall into different zones. One of those sources is likely in the Restricted sites zone.
There are several ways to identify all the sources for a web page's content:
1. Info on the page itself
Hover your mouse over images (esp. banner ads) and other links and watch the bottom band of Internet Explorer, which previews the sites which are linked to. You can also right-click on images and look at the "Properties" for those images. Either method will provide some indication as to where page content is being drawn from.
2. The IE6 Privacy Report
In Internet Explorer 6.0, go "View" >> "Privacy Report." The Privacy Report gives you a rundown of "websites with content on the page."
3. Personal firewall logs
Most personal firewalls provide logging of some sort, and you can look through your firewalls logs to get some indication of the sources for a page's content.
4. View the HTML source
Go "View" >> "Source" to open the HTML source for a page. Looking through HTML can be a pain, but it does reveal all the sources for page content. Note: if the site uses frames, you'll have to open the framed page separately (right click on the framed page, then "Open Frame in New Window"). Then you can "View" >> "Source."
It's not always difficult to track down the specific entry in the Restricted sites zone that's causing a website not to work, but sometimes it does require some patience.
