Don't just delete it, or you may have problems with your internet
connection. Regarding New.Net (QuickSearch
http://www.cexx.org/newnet.htm It apparently appears in Add/Remove
Programs and can be uninstalled from there:

Why not just go to "add/remove programs" as it places an entry there.
By the way here is a quote from their "about us" page.

The QuickSearch Toolbar is bundled with several popular downloadable
applications.
