I can't find Advanced tab in IE 6

[Guest]

I've noticed there is no Advanced tab in my IE 6. (tools/internet
options/advanced Should I delete IE and redownload it? Will I lose my
favorites? I use Windows 98 , maybe Advanced is only for XP?

Nope......I have W2K, IE6 SP1, and I have an Advanced Tab in the Internet
Options. I have an Advanced in WinME too. But, not sure where it is in 98.

Win98+IE6 has an Advanced tab.

Start-Run-Regedit
There could be more than one "AdvancedTab" value.
Try these keys first and then search for AdvancedTab (no space)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Control Panel

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Control Panel

Remove "AdvancedTab" if present.

Now investigate the parasite that removed it.

and if you lost it you are probably infested with scumware:

Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs
below, download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

If nothing there helps, please post back to this thread.
