Browser Tools - "Internet Options"

L

Larry

I'm trying to change my home page, but whenever I
select "Tools", then "Internet Options", I get an error
message that says:

"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator."

This is my home computer (no LAN, no administrator). Any
help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Remove IE Restrictions & Restore Missing tabs. Download a fix from:
http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/sramesh2k/reg/IE_reset_restrictions.reg

Also, refer Fix 268 from Kelly's site:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Restore All tabs in IE and Removes the ** Internet Options ** Restrictions
as well

The problem may be due to:

1. A spyware. Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system
and eliminate the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
** Remember to update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **

( Caused by a malware called CoolWebSearch. Also, Download:

2. You have enabled SpyBot immunize (protection) feature or any other
similar software.
