missing tabs in Windows Explorer, IE, etc. - possibly the result of some worm

The 'security' tab under Tools-Internet Options is missing
from my browser. I believe that some worm/TJ/etc. has
changed the registry entries and caused this to happen.
Another symptom is that in Windows Explorer, the View-
Toolbars options has the fourth entry blanked out. I can
see 'Standard Buttons', 'Address Bar', and 'Links', but
can't see or choose the fourth option.

I've used several different programs to try to track this
down, but am not having much luck.

Would appreciate any help in fixing this.

Ash,
I too am missing some tabs under the IE Tools option tab.
Mine are General and Programs. It just happened sometime
last night august 31 / sept 1 2003. I re-downloaded from
microsoft.com with no luck. We need to stick together to
find a fix for the stupid pranks of nasty people, no SICK
people in this world. Stay in touch.

Reset the Internet Explorer tabs and remove all the browser restrictions.
Download the script from:

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 cause may be 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.
