I know i have it

[Qhosts]

I know I have the Trojan.Qhosts because I checked in my
registry and everything and there is the "rox your sox"
and "google provider" and all those registry changes in
there. But the problem is my internet isnt working and i
cant get to ANY website at all. What am I supposed to do
if I cannot access the updates and all that other crud for
getting rid of this virus?

Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

If you have the Qhost trojan the you may have one in your Windows folder and
an other in the \help folder. Rename them both.

The clean it up.
