Here is a list of some of them:
1. After opening several windows of IE, when I close one of them the rest
get "stuck".
2. Many pages open with the warning symbol on the bottem left of the IE
window, and sometimes they even get "stuck" during their upload.
3. Cannot install MS Update (not sure if this is an IE problem but until I
solve the above problems I can't rule this option out).

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus, whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure of.
