Spyware?

I have recently installed Spy Sweeper on my computer and
done a full system sweep. Among other files found one in
particular could not be removed because it is a DLL file
called NewDotNet.
Has anyone heard of this, can it be uninstalled safely
without causing my computer to crash and how do I go
about doing it? (Spy Sweeper did say it could remove it
if I restarted my computer and ran it again).

Thank You for your help in advance.

Thank you so much-that post helped me remove the spyware,
with the help of the RegCleaner program I have, and now
my system is free and clear of it.

Thank you again.
 
Seems like you have enough advise about new dot net,Once
you clean it out check out this free program called
spywareguard it informs you of spyware as it is being
installed such as in "bundled" software

It is a nasty spying program that can be quite difficult to remove. See
