general tab is missing

[graham rhodes]

I have upgraded from ie5to ie6. Everything appears to be ok but I cannot see
the general tab under Tools\internet options. This means I can't set my home
page, clear history etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Missing the General Tab under Tools/Advanced tab...
This has been known to be caused by some malware called CoolWebSearch. Do
the following:
Download and run: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip to
remove the parasite.
Then download and run:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/iegentabs.reg to restore your
tabs and remove any restrictions that the parasite has put in place.
