There was talk of this trojan on the Google board, but this forum seems more appropriate.
This trojan uses security holes in IE (security holes in IE?) and can be launched by visiting a web site designed to take advantage of these holes. The trojan changes your DNS address configuration and installs a hosts file in the windows\help directory that redirects popular search engines (about 110 addresses) to 207.44.194.56 which evidently has been shut down.
