On Monday Bitdefender popped up message saying -c:\WINDOWS32\drivers\etc\hosts infected with Generic.qhost.OF42122B.It stated Bitdefender had blocked virus and computer not infected.
Since then I haven't been able to update Bitdefender and when I open Internet Explore four tabs open with web sites I haven't requested.Google should open as it's my homepage.I'm presuming that my PC is actually infected with this virus and Bitdefender is unable to get rid of it.
I'm running Windows XP and Bitdefender Internet Security V10.I have tried repairing Bitdefender in Add Remove Programmes but I still can't update it.
The computer is now performing very badly and Internet Explorer keeps freezing.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
