I have this file newdotnet3.0.0.8. dll and I cannot
delete it. I get File is being used by memory. How do I
get it rid of it? I found it in a program file and tried
to remove the file but I got the same thing. I tried to
manually remove it and I even tried to send it to a
disk.How do I find where it is being used and why? I
really want it gone.
 
open regedit and do a backup first !
then search for newdotnet* and delete any key contain
newdotnet
hope this help you
 
Hi

First of all, go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the Newdot software (if it is listed) - then use either/both of the following programs to get rid of the rest of that spyware:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://security.kolla.de

Manually editing the Registry isn't normally needed. If a manual edit of the Registry is needed at any time there is a small program called ERunt that will allow you to backup/restore the Registry:

This WILL NOT HELP the situation. Following August's directions will
result in lost network access.

Nice post. I always go to Spywareinfo if I have any doubt about spyware
and your link to spywareinfo was helpful.
 
I had a similar problem with some spyware
(iGator/trickler...exe) that Add/Remove wouldn't affect.
With some help from the McAfee techies, succeeded in
deleting the file by restarting XP in Safe mode.
