Kerio questions

I just switched ISPs.
Now, a few times a day, Kerio asks about somebody (only gives URL
number) wanting to send me something. I assume all are either bad or
not so good since I did not get those notices with old ISP.
But the switch also involved going from a verizon DSL modem (Westall
6100) to an optonline cable modem (webstar) from Scientific Atlantic
DPX2203 series with EMTA.

Q 1 Any easy way to get Kerio to tell me names of senders or do I need
to do a whois each time.
Q 2 If I have told Kerio to remember my denial (but checking the box)
how do I undo that (I already looked and did not see an obvious way).
Q 3 Is the new behavior due to switch of modems or did verizon have
better filters?

TIA

Thanks for the info.
