In order for new message rules to be saved they need to be written to
the registry. Either your antivirus program or one of your other security
programs may be blocking writes to the registry. Some of the security
programs known to do this are:
Ad-Aware Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5, reported to be fixed in later versions.
