Internet Explorer has gone insane

I cannot click on any link, I cannot open a tab, and I cannot download anything. If I do IE crashes and the tab switches to a message that says, "Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer." "A malfunctioning or malicious add-on has caused IE to close this webpage."
I've scanned with windows defender, spybot, and avast! and nothing has come up. I would just switch to firefox, but I can't download it.

Also I cannot use the in-browser search bar without a complete crash and I cannot edit posts without crashing. I see no processes or services that appear suspicious if that helps.
I don't have a solution to your IE problem, but if you wanna grab Firefox, you can do it with the built in command line FTP app.
Open up a command prompt and type ftp releases.mozilla.org and hit enter. It'll ask you for a user name, which is anonymous, and a password which you can just leave blank. You should now have an ftp prompt.
Now you'll need to change the directory to the one that contains the firefox installer we want. To do this, type cd pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0.10/win32/en-US and hit enter (or if you want a different localisation change the en-US bit).
Now we tell the client we want to grab a binary file, simply by using the binary command. We then change the local directory the client will download the file to, which we do by entering lcd C:\ (or wherever you want to put the file). Oh, and we're also going to want to know that the file is downloading, so use the hash command to instruct the client to print a # for every 2048 bytes (which will fill your command prompt with 3600 or so hashes).
All we have to do now is grab the firefox installer, which we do by typing get "Firefox Setup 3.0.10.exe" and watch your screen slowly fill with # symbols.
It'll let you know once the file is complete, and once it is simply type quit to close the connection and exit the ftp client.

Close IE. Check all the boxes for anything that is a BHO. Click Fix Checked. This will prevent any add-ons from starting with IE.
