Is cyber defender safe?

I've recently found that I have a virus called win32qhost.mg and was trying to find a program to remove it. It says it out performs all of the well known others and lists them. Is it safe to use?

 

No. See here and here

I can't find anything called 'win32qhost.mg', is that a typo? And what was it that claims you have this infection on your system?

 

Might be a new (or ficticious?) variant. I Googled win32qhost (without the .mg) and came up with some hits.

 

Yep, could be.

 

I was just going by what the scanner I used said. It's name is Kaspersky's on line scanner. This is the last part of the scan that shows the trojans and some spyware infections.
