Couldnt find information a specific "Q" virus however there are many virii that have Q attached to them so click here and do an online scan (if you can get online) if not they have a searchable virus information library and a list of the top ten command line removers

isn't it the virus scanner that usually renames to .vir ?
maybe you virus scan is trying to fix it by creating those renamed files, have you run a fullscan with a current, up-to-date anti-virus program? I much prefer Nortons because I have seen much better results in my own experience, but whatever it is it has to be updated often.
