IE 6.0.2800.1106

Since updating to this version my computer has taken on a life of it's own. Windows Explorer was the first to show it's demonic attributes! Then IE and now file executions. Each day since this activation my computer has been possessed. I too cannotdownload updates or click to open files. In order to open files while in Windows Explorer, in order to open files, I must right click, then click on explore, which is now in my list of choices. File associations are also possessed. I have searched everywhere in an attempt to solve this problem to no avail. Help! I prefer not to install updates or different versions once I've found one that works for me, but secure sites require you to update or they refuse your entry.(ie.Banking etc.)
