IE won't stop opening

Hello,

I am using Windows XP and I think I have a virus. I have run all the required programs and antivirus programs and Windows updates. Sometimes when I click on my IE 6.0 icon, I get a continuous streem of IE windows opening. They only way I can get it to stop is to actually unplug my computer. Is anyone able to help?
