error when shutting off pc

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.

Thank you, Frank, for your help. Yesterday I ran Trend Micro Housecall and 
deleted a lot of problems and my pc seemed to run better after that, but then 
today I was right back to the same problem. I did dl Window Defender and just 
finished running it and they found no problems. I will continue to try your 
other suggestions and hopefully get this problem fixed. Thank you, again. I 
appreciate your help.
