Blocked Senders not accumulating

After I've add a new spammer to my blocked Senders list, I check the next
time to see if the list is accumulating, only to find that it isn't.
I've tried the following suggestion posted earlier ...

"That usually means the registry section for Blocked Senders is corrupted.
You may need to delete the existing key from the registry and then rebuild
your list.  The location to look is here:

To delete the key from the registry, close OE and click Start|Run and type
regedit. In Regedit, navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Block Senders

where {GUID} is the Global Unique IDentifier for your Identity. Under the
Block Senders key, you will see a key for Mail and another for News. Delete
the one that is not working, or delete the entire Block Senders key if the
problem occurs in both mail and news. OE will create a new key when you
reopen it.

Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.
Thanks."

for another users similar problem, but found it hasn't worked.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance, Brad

Are you quite certain that Outlook Express is shut down, when you do the
deletion in the registry?  If it's running in the background, compacting
your message store folder, (as shown in Task Manager) you should wait until
it is completed and shut down, then do the registry edit.

If that is the case, and registry edits are not "sticking" then I'd screen
your system for some type of malware infection:
