Everytime I want to shut my pc off, I get an error message that
iexplore.exe
is not responding and I click on "end now", but I just keep getting the
same
error. I went to add & remove programs to repair IE6 and it is not listed.
Can anyone tell me what to do to fix this problem? Thank you!!

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.
