To stop the ABE popup when accessing Amazon under my VPM

There is a section called "Do not filter objects coming from these sites:". It has these sites listed: ".hulu.com .youtube.com:. I have tried to remove them but they keep coming back. If I do not activate "external filters" does this create a potential problem? I'm not quite...

I went into the JS file and changed the wording around and rearchived it.
It still generates a line but it is now meaningless.

What must I do to stop it?

Thanks.

When I go to the option Advanced / XSS there is an Anti-XSS Protection Exception that is entered. ^(http|https)://[a-z0-9\-]+\.stumbleupon\.com/ I can erase this and the screen goes yellow.
