I've started getting this error on almost every program I try to open
"program" has caused an error in SHDOCVW.DLL'
Program will now close.
I have recently removed a few programs in the Add/Remove section, could
this
be the problem?

Possibly and if Mart and Mike's suggestions did not solve your situation,
here you can download the dll-file for free:

But don't venture into scanning or fixing anything, as being offered.
That might bring you more trouble instead.
Best of luck,

Harry.
