how to get rid of the nasty newdot net or new.net

here's how to uninstall the damn thing:

1. Do a file search on newdot*.dll in your Windows and Program Files directories, including subfolders. If you have New.Net, you should find one (or even more) files that look like newdotnet2_29.dll. Each file you find is a version of New.Net. (No, it doesn't delete the old versions when new ones are installed.) Do not delete the files you find yet! (If you already did, skip ahead)
2. For each file, type in the Run dialog (i.e. click Start, Run and type the following): rundll32 c:\[path to newdotnet_dll],NewDotNetUninstall (substitute each file you found for [path to newdotnet_dll]).
Issuing the command NewDotNetUninstall to the DLL makes it remove it's hook from the Winsock stack and stop itself from loading at system startup.
3. Delete the newdot*.dll files you found.


Check regularly for presence of New.Net (after installing new software for instance), either by checking the Add/Remove Software list or searching for newdot*.dll. As I said, Ad-Aware won't detect it unless you use a really old signature file. (And no, I don't have one that old.)
