I have identified a Qhost or variation called gaobot that redirects the destination on links that I click on. Spyware and Anti-virus programs don't recognize it as far as I can tell. It prevents access to windows updates and anti-virus websites. Have you heard anything about this, and do you know how to get rid of it?
