I recently experienced a virus that appears to have
removed a couple of functions from IE 6.0 browser. I no
longer have a "General" tab in Internet Options UI and I
cannot delete history from either the Internet Options UI
located in tools or on the main browser panel. Is there
an easy way to rebuild my IE 6.0?

Thanks,
Dean
 
Hi Dean,

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.
