My PC was thoroughly infected and I've since run McAFEE, SPYBOT, MALWAREBYTES, and MS scan. I cleaned up a lot, but the PC remains slow and has issues connecting with the internet at times (when other PCs in my home do not), including Windows Update. I use a NETGEAR Wireless router, but have tried a direct connect to it as well.
I suspect the ZQ0.exe file but I have not read anything about it. So I kill the process once my PC has started.
I tried removing it with HJT but it keeps coming back.
Regards, Sonyncher
