First, before removing IE7, do you have any of those "helpful" toolbars installed on your browser? If so, then remove those.

Also, IE7 has an option to run with no add-ons. You can get this by going to your Start Menu -%26gt; Programs -%26gt; Accessories -%26gt; System Tools. Try running that to see if it gives you the same problems.

Only run one anti-virus program at a time.

You only need to do a search on here to see how many people are having problems with IE7. The best thing to do is download Mozilla Firefox available from http://www.mozilla.com/ Its faster, more user friendly, easily customisable to suit your needs and no problems.
No, using two antiviruses or firewalls at a time is unsafe for your computer(this is not true in case of anti-spywares). I am 99% sure that it is no security issue. About 60% of the people who have downloaded IE 7 are experiencing such weird things. So, the best solution would be to uninstall it from Start %26gt; Control Panel %26gt; Add/Remove Programs. By this, IE will downgraded automatically to your previous version, i.e., IE 6. You can make IE 6 a bit IE 7-like, by using the Yahoo toolbar. It enables tabbed browsing in IE 6!
Multitudes of people who downloaded IE7 have had problems...tho yours sound even worse. I am no expert, but what I and many others did was UNINSTALL the IE 7 and use IE6...it will still be there. Even Yahoo (which PUSHES IE7) has acknowledged that IE7 has serious problems.
Lots of people have come on here with this problem...only solution is to uninstall IE7 and either go back to using V6 or use firefox instead.
