internet explorer

There is something working in the background of my ie6
that sometimes redirects me to dotcom toolbar for
advertisements, search, etc. I have tried to uninstall
my explorer and it does not uninstall. I have tried to
uninstall the dotcom toolbar program and it will not go
away. Help me.
