Java Option Missing in Advanced Options

Hello all,

My childs system is missing the Java option in the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced tab. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the JRE environment but still, nothing. I completely removed the Java folders and such before I reinstalled too to no avail.

I have run several online virus programs (clean) as well as Spybot S&D, Malwarebytes, and Windows Defender and they all come out clean.

I think this is a configuration issue rather than malware.

Has anyone else expierienced this and know a cure?

System Config:
---------------
Vista Home Ultimate (32 bit)
IE8
Parental Controls On

After reinstalling I ran the Java "Test" on the Java site and here are the results:

load: class testvmDynamicJavaComPopUp819.class not found.

I found some other errors a well so I am replacing the drive. Thanks to all of those that looked at the thread.
