Well, I just removed the pesky Trojan manually from my system. Strange thing is that neither Norton AV nor Ad-Aware picked it up, and using Norton's Trojan removal tool for Qhosts didn't catch it either. I keep the definitions updated.

I found the information on this site useful. It gives a description of the Trojan, symptoms (that's how I could tell I was infected) and manual removal procedures.

CAUTION: Manual removal involves editing your registry!! Always backup your registry first before attempting to edit it.

But the process is quite simple, registry editing involved changing the values of one value back to its original, and deleting another entry. In addition, you'll need to look for 2 files and a folder to delete. The Windows search function came in useful.

Google now works again! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
