Well SP2 is on my computer, has been since the pre
release, with little problem. I however disabled the
windows firewall as i run sygate.
Recently, last few days, i have been getting this attempt
to access the internet... see log below. After an adaware
scan, still this:

Newdotnet is adware/spyware right? So how does
rundll32.exe fit into the picture?

your right it's malware big time. however i would check

something in your pc telling it to install. software
comes with a price tag these days.
