Download Brute Force Uninstaller (http://www.merijn.org/files/bfu.zip).
Unzip it to it’s own folder (c:\BFU)
It must be unzipped to the c:\BFU folder (Or the drive windows is installed to, which is normaly C:\)

Rightclick on this link and choose save target as, save sidekickFix.bat to that BFU folder.
====
http://downloads.subratam.org/Lon/sidekickFix.bat
====
Close all browsers, explorer folder's then Run sidekickFix.bat
Choose yes and fallow the prompts, when prompted to restart the PC do so.
After the PC has restarted and you are here at the forum make and post a hijackthis log.

Have hijackthis fix
O4 - Startup: Weather.lnk = C:\Program Files\Weather\Weather.exe
=======
Restart your PC

There are several free antivirus and firewall programs mentioned in this thread http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=279
Be sure to read the other advice.
Personal opinion, go with avg and sygate firewall, afterwards update and do a full scan, then visit windows update..
