Corrupted security zones

I have a problem that occurred last week; I cannot open Access daabases, i
get an error message saying Internet Explorer security Zone manager is
corrupt or not installed. I cannot access Windows Update directly, only via
Microsoft.com; and when I try to download files, I get "your security
settings do not allow...". I've reset all IE security settings to defaults,
even run the anti spyware browser restore program, but still have the same
problem.
I reinstalled Office XP - no difference. manually downloaded all security
patches, no difference. 3 different spyware scanners find nothing, 2
different antivirus programs find nothing.

You can't just state "...3 different spyware scanners find nothing, 2 different antivirus
programs find nothing."
You have to state what the software that you used was and their respective versions.
Otherwise the above is meaningless.

oh dear, and there was me thinking this was a community of people who wanted
to help, rather than demonstrate their superiority.
Ok, Adware filter, XSoft Spy, Hijack This, Microsoft AntiSpyware, Trend
Micro PC-Cillin and Sophos.
Thanks for the link, I'll try it now.

Sadly, it hasn't changed anything. I installed it, rebooted the PC too, reset
all security zone settings to defaults. No improvement. Access keeps saying
reinstall IE or the appropriate Office system pack. I've tried the Office
reinstall, patch, etc. Can't reinstall IE, when I download the IE6 installer
it tells me there is a newer version already installed (even after I remove
IE6.0 from w?indows Components via Control Panel)

Oh dear -- another poster that bites the hand that is trying to feed them.

I'm done.
