Issues with removing IE

Now, this problem is my own doing, mostly because I was careless and went into a .ru webpage when searching for some Game cracks and such.

As a result, my computer is infested with adware and the like.  The majority of it is binded with IE, so I figure, hey, if I remove IE, I can solve part of the problem.  However, I can't.  Whenever I move IE to the recycle bin, it tells me there a programs currently using IE, which I assume are the fucking torjans and such.

So my question is, how do get IE and the trojans to STFU and GTFO?  I have Adaware and Avast! for virus and ad/spyware removal.  If someone can recommend another good/better free virus remover, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for baring with my idiocy.

Also, protip:

If you decide to stick with windows and do a reformat, the only sure way to be safe is to install a basic firewall and block IE's access to the internet.

If you do that, the only way to get your computer infected is to be really fucking stupid. In which case, buy a mac, please.
