RunDll at startup ~ Newdot

[IS]

Every time I boot my PC an error comes up....

C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2DLL
Can anybody help fix this problem?

The reason, for those interested, why this happened is because I scanned the
computer with the new Microsoft AntiSpyware. After that this started
happening.

Thanks
