I have this spyware/adware on my computer (Weathercase.exe). I've tried Spyware Remover and Your Uninstaller, and they both say that the program is in use, and thus it cannot be uninstalled until I close the program. Just HOW does one close such a program, or is there some software that will delete it some other way? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Reboot into Safe Mode and remove it there.
Motor cooled down, heat went down, that's when I heard that reinstall sound

Hello; if you still encounter difficulty in removing it, you could try the "Move-On Boot". I don't think you'll need it though, but thought I'd post it just in case. The download site is above. Good luck! ~Tommyo

Weathercast is one of the less nasty spyware out there, very easy to kill.
Enter Task Manager, (press Cntl,Alt,Delete)and you will find WEATHER in there: hilight it and click "End Process".
Now go into Explore: search you C drive for "Weather" and delete the folder you find.
Now go into the Register, do an Edit/Find from My Computer at the top for Weathercast and delete all entrys, especially in the Run file where there is an entry to start at boot. You're done.
