Internet Options

[Guest]

I need helo figuring out this wierd phenomenon that
happened on this computer. As of last night I had
Internet Options, under Tools, in Internet Explorer. It
had a list of things I could choose from to use and
customize. Now when I open it, there is only a privacy
tab, and nothing else. I have tried openiong it through
control panel and that does not work as well. Is there
any way to get this back? I cannot do all of the things
I want to do wiht my internet without it.

Did you install and/or run Spybot? Did you RTFM?

1. Restore All Tabs under Internet Options

2. Then eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated 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:
