-pops- Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 What I would do is a re-install from backup. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Did you uninstall using their uninstaller ?Methinks a Hijackthis log would not go amiss to check for any of it's cousins that may have sneaked in with it. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks guys,everything seems to be working OK.I removed it in add and remove.I ran AVG, A2, adaware, spybot, ewido, crapcleaner and got rid of anything sus, I also have and Bhodemon and Blaster running in the background.

mark2 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Surprisingly their uninstaller does actually work, :blink: as does the add remove programs method when the uninstall file is in the folder.Problems arise with incorrect removal of New.netEarlier versions of Adaware (v5) were prone to ripping it out and breaking your internet connection. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks for the help guys, but as I say things seem to be ok so I will leave it for a while, if problems arise I will post a hijackthis log. Thanks john. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 NewdotNet is one of the 'nice' guys of the malware world.... if you don't want it then it is very easy to get rid of it... by using add/remove progs. If you have any problems with that then you can safely follow the instructions for removal that they provide on thier site.NewDotNet removal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks nel, I think I have got rid of it though :) Also I think I will give startup inspector a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4may Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks nel, I think I have got rid of it though :) Also I think I will give startup inspector a go.I find startup inspecter quite useful as if you use it when you are on line it will give you a an analysis of the startup programs. Helps you decide if you need it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have no problems downloading from http://www.windowsstartup.com/download.php (click on the Download link).If you still have problems, google for Download Inspector, and you will find dozens of alternate download sites, e.g. from download.com ((but the windowsstartup.com download is newer).
