I heard that there is a forced upgrade (the latest fad in software development) and I want to block the forced upgrade from IE6 to IE7. Idiotic, dismissive replies to this question will be flagged for abuse.

This is the simplest way:
Right click on my computer.
Click Properties.
Click on automatic updates tab.
Select the option "notify me but do not automatically install" or "turn off auto update"
Apply the changes.
Hope this helps.

From what I read so far, they should cause an automatic redirect of your IE 6 starting on November 3rd. This will not force you to install it although the forced installation is probably coming soon after.
Since it is sent as a Windows update, you can easily control it by changing the automatic update settings. You just go to Control Panel->(classic view)->System->Automatic Updates and select to only download automatically.
This way it will notify you when new updates are ready, you just have to do a custom install to select which updates you want and when you refuse one it offers you to remember to skip it next time.

I think you heard wrong. There is no forced update.
BTW, I'm using IE 7 and it works just fine.
