NEW Virus
just so you guys know, tech support are getting a fair few of these -
Symantec have dubbed this virus Trojan.Qhosts aka QHosts-1 [McAfee], VBS.QHOSTS [CA]
This virus effects various parts of the machine .
However the main concern for us is that it changes the DNS settings to apparently non working DNS servers = no browsing.
The quickest way to spot this virus is to check the DNS settings.
For 2k / XP
Click Start -> Run
type CMD
In the new window type ipconfig
look at the DNS servers entry.
This should say
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . : 194.168.4.100
194.168.8.100
However if the Trojan.Qhost virus is there this entry will start with either 69.57.XXX.XXX or 216.127.XXX.XXX
