NewDot - Delete Warning

[Otis]

I ran a system scan and it found NewDot spyware. I
directed the scan to delete this hazard. Unfortunately,
it caused my system to corrupt. My advise is to not
remove this hazard, until a safer method can be derived.

Thank you for your guidance. It worked perfectly.

Horsefeathers. If your application had been installed with the users
informed consent, and had an easily found menu entry and removal link,
there'd be no issue.

'sumpin wrong with that language? <G>

There is something about a vendor with the history that this one has, making
posts about their current newly minted innocence that is a little hard to
take.
