I wouldn't worry about it, if that is the only thing that is wrong. How is everything else running?

I wish I could just not worry about it....LOL Im just not wired that way..sometimes yeah but not with stuff like this..I know if I do Ill just be getting a call about it again...anyway...GOOD NEWS...found some info on it that started me in the right direction....here is a link to the article...
http://www.antivirus...virus/qhost.php
which led me to believe that this was either the same thing or very similar...I ran spybot search and destroy..and it came up with all these HOST redirect (I think)...blah blah...with web addresses of all these places like trend micro, grisoft, pandasoftware ect.....I wish I would of kept it or at least a SS of it...so after coming up with no HOST backup files(ARRGGHHH the virus had turned off restore also) ....I was able to go to Pandas UK site and download their latest trial ware....and it helped also ...I thought I was almost out of the woods until I started getting alerts from panda about stuff in the C:\Recycler so I went to a c prompt and that directory C:\recycler and put in del * /f /s /q I have tried going to all sorts of sites that might start up these problems again as stated in the article and numerous reboots....all appears to be well finally
sorry if this is kind of a wacky way to go about this..but the least I can do(besides making a donation I just dont like paypal ..bad experience...Ill try it again though
) is to let you know what I did to get it hopefully fixed....Im pretty confident it is...we will see and ill let you know
thanks again Coaches Wife 6 your a gem
PS The error I had earlier about "buffer overun in jpeg processing could allow code execution" windows will have a fix on the 11th of April for it

Glad it's fixed. Sometimes, it's just something quirky.
The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.
The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.
- Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.
- AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.
- SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.
- SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.
- IE-SpyAd - puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
- CleanUP! - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.
- Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
- Google Toolbar - Free google toolbar that allows you to use the powerful Google search engine from the bar, but also blocks pop up windows.
- Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)
- Weather Watcher - Free taskbar weather program that is free, malware free, and resource light.
