Internet Explorer 6 Phishing Filter

I am having a wierd problem with MSN Toolbar for IE 6. Can you lend me some
assistance or can you point me in the right direction for help?

I downloaded the Anti-phishing add-in from the Microsoft website and after
the install everything was working well for at least a month. No problems
were encountered doing the download.

However, I am now having a problem in getting the anti-phishing icon to
appear on the toolbar. I have tried removing and reinstalling the
anti-phishing addin but that does not solve the problem. I have also tried
to remove IE 6 then reinstall it using the CD, but the problem is still
there.

To add insult to injury, there are two users on this machine and there is no
problem with the toolbar and the display of the anti-phishing icon on that
user's IE toolbar. It only occurs on my IE toolbar.

I have even tried using System Restore to restore to a time when it was
working, but the problem persist. Is it possible that I may ahve removed
some sort of file setting unknowingly. If so, how do it reinstall or rebuild
such a file?

What can I do to have the icon appear on my IE toolbar? Thank you for any
assistance that you may render in helping me bring this matter to a working
solution. It is such a useful little tool I hate to loose it.

(I am referring to MSN Search Toolbar)

Sincerely Yours;
Percy Davis, Jr

Hi,
You may have a damaged registry key- the key which records IE toolbar
layout.

Go to http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#IEToolbars Download this REG file
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/IEToolbar.reg Right-click it and merge it into
the registry. Restart.Then setup the IE toolbar again.

Hope this helps,

Hello Don;
I am sorry but that did not work. Am I to do some other thing to reset IE 6
or just restart Windows. In any case I tried that and it still doesn't
appear. I appreciate your assistance though.

Hi,
Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the whole MSN search toolbar
package? Or, have you recently installed another toolbar? Conflicts can
occur.

Hello Don;
I just finished with that and it still doesn't show. Is there some key that
I have to turn on before I can continue? Also I cannot seem to erase IE6 from
my system. I tried the MSN thing to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/.../.../IsInstalled by
resetting this key.....but that doesn't seem to work either. If I could only
somehow reinstall IE6 maybe, just maybe that will work.

If you've installed SP2 as an update, you should uninstall SP2 before
attempting the reinstall procedure in

Dear Don,
I thank you very much for the assistance that you provided me. Even though
the solution eluded both us, I feel as though you were here beside me as we
looked for a solution.

My solution was to remove and reinstall Windows OS. Since I have two hard
drives this was not a problem.

The major fault unknown to me before is that there are TWO versions of the
MSN Search Toolbar in existence. I keep copies of downloaded files in a
special folder and I noticed the difference during all of the file transfers.
You did ask the right questions and you were on track in your responses. No
wonder you are MVP IE.
Both versions cannot be on the same machine or conficts do occur. And they
are contrary to one another. Thanks again for your efforts. I must now do the
updating thing. See ya.
