Default Fresh-Weather Virus?

Hi again,

Back for more advice if i may.

My PC has picked up some kind of virus / spyware infection, and i cant get it off.

Its not being detected by PC Guard, but its there nonetheless.

Whenever i open up my internet browser and do a search or attempt to change to a different site, i get re-directed to something that says fresh-weather - and it starts taking me to random internet sites, mostly to do with porn and gambling. In other words, i cant use the net and go where i want, as this ****** piece of rubbish takes me wherever it feels like.

Have tried my hardest to get rid of it, but just when i think its gone away, it comes back.

Anyone know of any free programmes that can get rid for me?

Appreciated - thanks
D

Thanks Jelly Bean,

I'll try all this tonight when i get home.

I've had a terrible run of late - one PC problem has lead to another and it's getting ridiculous. *Sigh* - will i ever get to play minesweeper again. !!
