I have the exact same problem, but with a twist. I had installed Trailfire nt long ago. Everything was running fine, now I can't access Internet Options at all nor remove this Trailfire toolbar from my add/remove programs or otherwise. It tells me it doesn't exist, but yet when I opne IE it is there. Makes no sense how it can say this to me. I have tried going into local c ans deleting the entire file, but it won't do this either. I'm stuck! and now can't get into Tool> Ineternet Options. I tried the suggestion above, and could nto find Interent Explorer in the list to look at. what may be causing this?

I used your suggestion for the above problem. No results. Same as before. And yes I did have a virus, but it was removed. Where do I go from here. If you can help I would appreciate, also I am not an experienced PC user.

PROBLEM: Internet Options under Tools on Internet Explorer is changed and the General Tab is no longer present. To repair this issue you must fix a data value in the registry. To do this do the following.

CLICK START BUTTON > CLICK ON RUN & type in regedit > this will take you to your registry, where you have to go to repair the issue.

Once there, on the left side there go to the following...
Click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER
then click on Software
then click on Policies
then click on Microsoft
Then click on Internet Explorer
and then click Control Panel.

On the right side there is data GeneralTab.
After GeneralTab is REG_SZ an then is value 0 or something.
Right click entry GeneralTab and click modify.
Then write 0x00000000 (0) at Value data.
Click ok and close window.
Open internet explorer and general is visible again.

Sounds like you're behind some kind of corporate firewall or proxy. The short answer is probably not. You'd have to get in touch with the IT people to see what they're blocking and why.
