ERROR MESSAGE

[Guest]

Does anyone know what the following is on loading xp:
C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL
The specified module could not be found

 

[Wesley Vogel]

You have scumware, NewDotNet, or newdot~2.dll has been removed from your
machine and there is still a start reference in the registry.

What Is It?
NewDotNet - newdot~2.dll

A very large range of software installs New.Net, including RealOne,
AudioGalaxy, KaZaA, iMesh, Grokster, BearShare, Babylon and Radlight.

Removal: Open the Control Panel and looking in the 'Add/Remove Programs'
list.

What Does it Do?
NewDotNet is a browser hijacker and can update itself without any input from
you. Anything that modifies your windows HOSTS file is a hijacker and we
don't want it! The "purpose" of this is to add support for additional
domains like .AGENT .INC .LOVE .SHOP .SPORT. We suggest you remove this.

FYI - This particular pest, as well as a couple of others, are disabled by
default in Spybot S&D. ???
Go to Settings > Ignore Products
Carefully scroll the list and remove any checks that you do *not* want
ignored from the scans.
While there - you may want to *put* a check at "DSO Exploit", as this is a
false positive which confuses many users.
