My computer is so screwed up. Internet Explorer 7 never works (but version 6.0 does), sometimes Windows Explorer (includes My Computer, Control Panel, Network Connections, etc.) never even loads on (the taskbar on the bottom of the screen disappears then comes back). My computer is loaded with viruses and junk that its unimaginable. I have Avast antivirus and Norton, so please don't give me Security software advice. Please help!

Dude... reinstalling windows is the best way you can solve these problems. It always work because it deletes everything on your computer, and nothing can come back. So beware. It will work. Unless you have a virus that got loaded onto a cd and when you put it in your comp it could come back so make sure you are good to go.

yeah its your best bet. i would re-install windows but also make sure you format the drive. i think maybe you would delete the partition and start from scratch.
only reason i say this is that i think there is a install feature that just replaces the Windows OS source files and nothing else, leaving you with all existing programs. Might want to make sure you wipe everything off your computer so you get a fresh install.
good luck!

I believe reinstalling Windows XP would solve all those problems. But then again you would no programs and all your files would be gone.

Yes it will resolve your problems, unless it is a virus stuck on your computer. If it is a virus, you would have to reformat your system to be sure of a clean hard drive.
