McAfee calls it QHosts-1. They have a fix for it, as do
other anti-virus vendors. And Friday afternoon, Microsoft
released IE cumulative patch Q828750, which addresses this
vulnerability.
You can fix it youself by changing the DNS setting in your
network configuration. Call your ISP for help - they'll
know which DNS server you should use.
