What did this mean then?
Content tab is not enabled.
I thought that meant that the Content tab was missing.
The Content tab has a lot of stuff.
Content Advisor
Enable button
[[Click this to start or stop Content Advisor. This feature is useful if
you
have children and want to control what kinds of material they can view on
the Internet.]]
Certificates
Clear SSL State button
[[Click this to remove all client authentication certificates from the SSL
cache. In an SSL session, when a server asks for a certificate to verify
that you are who you say you are, the chosen certificate is saved in a
cache. The chosen certificate can remain in the cache until you restart
your
computer.]]
Certificates button
[[Click this to require that secure Web sites send their security
certificates before you send them information. Secure Web sites send
Internet Explorer a certificate that provides certain information about
security for that site. Certificates are issued to a particular
organization
for a specific period of time. Internet Explorer verifies the Internet
address stored in the certificate and that the current date precedes the
expiration date. If there is a problem, Internet Explorer can display a
warning. Viewing information almost never presents a security risk, but
sending information, such as your credit-card number, often does.
Therefore,
you might want to disable the warnings for viewing Web pages but retain
them
for sending information.]]
Publishers button
[[Click this to display the certificate publishers in Internet Explorer.]]
Personal Information
AutoComplete button
[[Click this to modify AutoComplete settings for Web addresses and forms.]]
My Profile button
[[Click this to specify personal information you can share when a Web site
requests information from its visitors.]]
AutoComplete Settings
Use AutoComplete for
Web addresses
[[Specifies whether you want Internet Explorer to automatically list
suggested Internet addresses as you type them in the Address bar. If you've
visited the Web site before, the AutoComplete feature suggests a match as
you type. You can go to the suggested address by clicking it and then
clicking the Go button.]]
Forms
[[Specifies whether you want Internet Explorer to automatically list
suggested entries when you enter text on Web pages. For example, when you
are prompted to fill in your name, Internet Explorer can list other name
entries you've used before. Then, you can select a suggestion and enter it
by clicking it in the list. The AutoComplete feature can also provide
possible matches when entering searches, stock quotes, or just about any
field on a Web page.]]
User names and passwords
[[Specifies whether you want Internet Explorer to suggest entries for
usernames when you enter them in Web pages, and to automatically fill in
the
name's corresponding password if you have previously saved it in Internet
Explorer.
Note: For security reasons, Internet Explorer does not actually display or
list password entries; each character in a password box is represented by
an
asterisk ( * ).]]
Prompt me to save passwords
[[Specifies whether you want Internet Explorer to prompt you to save a
password when you enter it in a Web page. Then, when you use a username
entry you've used before, Internet Explorer will automatically fill in the
corresponding password if it has been saved.
If you clear this check box, no new passwords will be saved, and you will
need to type the password each time for any new user names and passwords
that have not previously been saved.
Note: For security reasons, Internet Explorer does not actually display or
list password entries; each character in a password box is represented by
an
asterisk ( * ).]]
Clear Forms button
[[Click this to clear your History folder of all entries you've previously
made in Web pages. This ensures that nobody else can use your computer and
attempt to view any private information you've previously entered, by
viewing what entries are listed by AutoComplete.]]
Clear Passwords button
[[Click this to clear your History folder of all username and password
entries you've previously made in Web pages. This ensures that nobody else
can use your computer and attempt to view any private information you've
previously entered, by viewing what entries are listed by AutoComplete.]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Thank you Wes, much obliged. However, I have no missing tabs and AdAware
shows no infection. The network is also protected with hardware and
software firewalls and AVG.
To all intents and purposed the setup of IE for my account on this
computer is identical to that of the other 2 users. However, these 2
users can not operate most search engines, including Google, Yahoo, Ask
Jeeves and Lycos. GoogleToolBar is also inoperative. Pressing the search
buttons or other links on their main pages does nothing. It's as though
the are restricted somehow, but as I said I disabled hosts file and also
removed the restrictions from SpyWareBlaster to no avail.
