I cant access any major search engines anymore. (bogus 404
page) My virus protection found QHosts/Delude.B in my
system and deleted it. After that I applied the
q828750.exe patch to fix the security issue. Then a new
virus check that came out clean. Still cannot access any
search engines and when using the adress field as search
engine I end up with "Page cannot be found". (Basicly same
problem as before but just no virus anymore.)

What to do to fix my register? (I know that the virus
added something to it but what?)
 
Detailed information about virus removal is available
from www.symantec.com. They have an extensive list of new
and old virusses and how to eliminate them.
Don't forget to check for spy-software on your machine !
 
That didnt really help. Symantec has not that particular
virus in their database. I used F-Prot to get rid of it.
But on their information page the say that the patch file
from MS only works for Delude.A and not Delude.B!
 
QHosts is still QHosts, no matter what your AV app chooses to name it.

Symantec's Removal Tool will get rid of it:

As I already have removed the virus itself, the fixfile
didnt help me either. I still get routed to some bogus 404
page. (And yes, I HAVE cleared the IE cache files and
such...)

This starts to suck big time now... =)
