I chose "custom" to so I could specify a URL under the "URL blocking" tab.  I move the sensitivity slider over to "Custom" then click the "customize" button to open the dialogue, then click "URL Blocking" on the tab strip, check the "enable URL blocking" checkbox, then type my URL after clicking "add".  Afterwards, click "ok" on dialogue, and "ok" on the control panel. 

When I re-open the control panel, the sensitivity is set back to "Normal".   

This is an XP machine and I run CyberSitter and the CyberSitter key logger too.  Othewise, standard stuff.

Hi gcerice,

I have tried what you are trying to do using google as an example.
I found that the settings reverted back to 'normal'.

Despite this when I try to access google, it is still blocked, see the image produced.

maybe you could try this with google yourself, just to check it works...Just remember to remove it afterwards :P

Hope this helps,

You don't need to set it to Custom to add URLs to the blocked list. The reason it returns to Normal is because essentially you aren't changing the level of scanning (sensitivity).

You can set the sensitivity to High and that would stick and that sensitivity level.
