My PC has been infected with WIN FIXER POP Ups & from searc-h.com. I keep getting POP UP's all the time inspite of activating POP UP blocker for both Internet Explorer & Opera. Some Virus opens a lot of secret hidden windows which has completely slowed down the system. I use I.E 5.5 & Opera 7.21. What should I do to get rid of this malacious pop up problem.

I have been trying to find the source of those popups for soooooo long and I am sooooo tired and frustrated. Does ANYONE have any ideas that actually answer Ethan Hunt's question and mine? I am at my proverbial wit's end.
