tabs have disappeared, and unable to hide menu bar

i no longer have tabs. now i have to open a new window for everything i want
to do. they were there at one time.... and then just disappeared!!! also, i
cannot hide the menu bar. it is there all the time now, and does not even
appear on the drop down menu... ?????

Hi,

Tools/Internet Options/General tab, click on Tab settings and re-enable this
feature. If it is enabled already, uncheck the box, click apply/ok and then
close all open browsers. Repeat to re-enable this feature.

Hi,

Have you run thorough anti-malware scans in safe mode with up to date
antivirus and antispyware programs? My guess is that you need to.
