Parasite Alert! Quoted from a previous post.

First I would recommend you download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware
6.0
from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot
(http://security.kolla.de/) and scan your system for and remove any unwanted
parasites, adware, spyware, foistware and any other junk that might be
hiding
on your PC. This needs to be done in addition to your normal anti virus
scan
using your preferred anti virus application. The reason being that the loss
of the General tab in Internet Option is often the result of having
installed
a homepage hijacker/parasite and the parasite doesn't want you restoring
your
homepage to your preference.

The JS/Fortnight.b@M can also remove access to these options although more
normally it only removes access to the Advanced and Security tabs.
See http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=100025
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/js.fortnight.b.html

Now go to Kelly's Korner and download the small file iegentabs.reg
(http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/iegentabs.reg). Right click and
merge with your registry and this should remove the restrictions that have
been put in place by some malicious web site to prevent you accessing the
General tab in Internet Option.
 
Hi Alan,

Remove IE Restrictions & Restore Missing tabs
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 is due to 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 **
