Not sure if its related but ive found new.net on my PC that i probably picked up last night while i was tarting about with theme packs. cant think of any reason why new.net would nerf my Instant messenger tho.

mark2 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 If incorrectly removed New.net can nerf your internet connection, how did you get rid ?Just tried messenger myself, can't get in either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie2 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I was tarting around with theme packs the other night... went to install one and I read the user agreement and it told me it was going to install New.Net and the Quick search toolbar... so I cancelled it and decided to stick with the theme I had!

cd108 Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Im a bugger for not reading all that text nellie, atleast new.net is a peice of cake to remove tho and acording to its vendors it doesnt gather any personal info.
