Domain entries in Registry Hkey.

Can I safely delete Registry entries under:
"My Computer\Hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\wind ows\currentversion
\internet settings\zonemap\domains"

There are many entries there for web sites that have ever been visited.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I would not delete them - they don't hurt anything. If worried, I recommend you purge your system of clutter using Windows (XP or Vista) Disk Cleanup, ATF Cleaner or CCleaner. If you use CCleaner, then during installation, uncheck the option to install the Yahoo toolbar and before first use, go to Options > Settings > Advanced and ensure Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours is unchecked.

Note: Ensure you know your site credentials (user name and password) for sites you frequent before cleaning; you may have to login again at next visit.

Then download, install, update, and run Malwarebytes's Anti-Malware (MBAM) to ensure your system is free of malware. Then do the same for all other computers on your network (everything on your side of the Internet gateway, typically a cable/DSL modem).

Thanks, Bill. I'll give that a try.
