I don't know where to go to get this virus off my computer, and it's not a huge threat but it leeps redirecting all my search engine queries to "Get-answers-fast.com" and it driving me up a wall. Can someone please give me step by step instructions so I could manually get rid of this thing?

maybe check your host file for redirects??

usually in :

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ or %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\
Must be admin equiv.
