Hi,

It sounds like you've been infected with the Trojan.Qhost bug.
The new Qhosts bug exploits the unpatched residual vulnerability in
MS03-032.

Information regarding this can be found here.
http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100719.htm and
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.qhosts.html

The removal tool for this trojan is available here:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.qhosts.removal.tool.html

The bug sets all search values to google. You may wish to change your
configuration on your Internet
Explorer search settings as desired, if you don't want google.

To prevent this exploit, install the critical update described by
bulletin MS03-040 and KB828750. To test your browser vulnerability to
this exploit, see http://www.secunia.com/MS03-032/.
 
Hi Everyone,
I ran the tool, but it said my computer wasn't infected.
However, I am still the same problem - I can't access
google.com, can't do searches from msn.com/yahoo.com. My
other computers can view and do searches on these sites.
I am using a DHCP to assign IP settings - all the
computers have their node type set to Broadcast, but this
computer that is having the problem, has its node type
set to Hybrid. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I
change the node type? Last week I was able to ping
google.com from the computer, but I can not ping
google.com anymore. I have changed the IP address, but I
am still having the same result. Someone please help!

Thanks,
Sunny
