This was the scenario my "total removal" suggestion was intended to avoid. I suggest getting rid of it all, troubleshooting whatever problems are still there and/or verifying there are none before trying a reinstall of IE6.

I've unistalled IE7, yet it's back in my add/remove programs list. I did it a few more times and it still shows up. The browser I'm currently using is IE6...

Alright, lemme "theorize" as to WHY I suggest to have BOTH completely removed.
I occurs to me that perhaps IE6 & IE7 may share some common (unchanged) files, and that what may be happening at present is that pieces of one version that is supposed to be uninstalled are attempted to be used by other pieces that are installed. You will not have control over what is going on until you can achieve a status where you can confidentaly believe that neither of them are cause "the problem".
If the problem persists despite both being removed, you can assume that the problem does not have anything to do with IE of either version, and then troubleshoot accordingly.
Or, conversely, trying to isolate the problem (or problems) with the added confusion of cross-mismatched and/or corrupted files doing strange things will interfere with looking for problems that do not have to do with IE, ie. malware.
Posting a log in HJT is a good idea...
