IE not working

My IE has stopped working. There is no address bar. Even if I search something in google tool bar, nothing comes up. None of the menu buttons work. Also, my Symantec antivirus has got disabled automatically. If I try to open it a blank box opens up. I used Ad-aware which cleaned some files, but still nothing works. Looks like my PC has been attacked by virus. Please help.
After the 'repair', visit MS Updates and install the critical updates.
