Qhost
Qhost is a trojan that advertises to the user of threats that supposedly reside on their computer. This is simply a ploy to get the user to purchase Qhost in order to remove spyware and other threats. Qhost is incapable of scanning your PC or detecting threats, but may affect the performance of your PC. It should be removed at once. To remove Qhost manually, you must kill all associated processes, then detect all related files and values so that they may be deleted. Manual removal is not advised due to the risk of damage to your PC. To remove Qhost automatically, it is suggested that you use a legitimate antispyware application such as Spyzooka, which is intended for this purpose.

Ad-aware and Security Task Manager remove “Win32/Qhost” temporarily. Symantec Antivirus does not detect it. SpyZooka detected it and get rid of it. I so happy that my computer is clean now.
I got “Qhost” today and I run my anti-spy and it shows up so i remove it but when I restart my computer there it is again.My anti-virus will not complete a full scan and I don’t know how to fix this problem.
Since 3 days I’m facing frequent problem with the virus called Win32/Qhost trojan. and I’m using nod 32 antivirus. I have been using this software since 2 years. Till now I didn’t had this type of problem and it seems impossible to get rid of it. I used this software today and until now everything looks good. I really hope to work..
I heard from my friends that SpyZooka is the best of antispyware all around the world! I like it!
