General Tab missing?!

Ryan · Sep 4, 2003

For whatever reason, I have no "General" tab under
Internet Options...using IE 6.

Anyone know how this happened and more importantly, how
to restore it?

Hi Ryan - This has been showing up a lot lately and seems to be caused by
some malware called CoolWebSearch. Do the following:
Download and run: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip to
remove the parasite

Then download and run Kely's .reg file here:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/iegentabs.reg to restore your
tabs and remove any restrictions that the parasite has put in place.

Jim, you rock...seriously. Nothing makes me more furious
than releasing this kind of crap.

Anyway, it worked. Thanks again!
