just get the IP of google and edit your host file for google and then you should be able to get on. This is if you can IP to google. I have a IP of [216.239.37.99] for google, but there is not just one IP for it.

you have a virus. I got the same thing that blocked 8 major search engines. run a good virus scanner and clean up your computer. all other sites worked except for google.

Trojan.Qhosts is a Trojan Horse that will modify the TCP/IP settings to point to a different DNS server.


Trojan.Qhosts cannot spread by itself. For a computer to become infected, you would have to open an HTML page that contains code, which allows it to open a viral HTML file on the target computer, so that the script can create and run the malicious executable.

Symantec Security Response has developed a removal tool (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.qhosts.removal.tool.html) to repair damage from infections of Trojan.Qhosts.

Symantec Security Response has received reports that visiting a specific page on www.fortunecity.com caused a popup to be displayed that redirected the visitor to a different web page. Being redirected to the web page appears to have caused the trojan to be downloaded to a visitor's system and then executed. Reports also state that the threat exploited the Internet Explorer Object Data Remote Execution vulnerability on several victims' computers to execute itself.

I think it was already mentioned, but check your host file and make sure google isn't listed in it. I don't know if Kazza Lite will mess with google or not, it seems like I had the same thing happen once after installing it.

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
or
C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Just make sure if you make any changes to it that you save it without any extension after it. If you use notepad it may append .txt to the end of it.
