WHB It was added during a p2p install, which the 2 companies are suporting eachother in some way or another, it is bundled software. Microsofts AntiSpyware, and SpySweeper does the trick at removing it, and also PC-cillin notified me of it being on my computer. But i must say that when i was installing eDonkey, it did give me the opportunity to decline the install of New.Net, and i never did. until one day i reinstalled eDonkey again, and this time New.Net installed anyway, so i vowed to never use eDonkey again, and found an even better p2p software.  See also: Link

Timmi Magic This is just a sn00ping device. If you install then deny the update on ur firewall (for example) then on re-boot your comp wont load the net as proxy setting will be knocked out as it will need newnet dll to boot the web... how gay really. In your system (or maybe system32 cnt rememeber) you should have a round icon with blue stars on it (new.net uninstall) Uninstall the file(s) & reboot. All new.net allows you to do is access pages with different .(dot) names. Big deal, no-one wants to acces 'lamesite.lamedot. So there

WRJ I cna't download anything from IE, won't even open a file, or let me get a blinking cursor in search engine entry line. May have gotten it from MyTotalSearch??
Blue It seems to be no virus or spyware. I got it with edonkey. It adds not official domain names, to the browser. Only rename (delete) the dll and it will be "removed", but then the normal domains will not work, too. I removed it then about System- Software and now all works fine (the dll still exists but can now be deleted).  See also: Link
Andy Go to Add/Remove programs. Remove "New.Net Domains" just like D-fens above says. That's the cure. P2P installs it. It does ask if you want to, but who knew that saying yes was the wrong answer?

Andu It causes nightmares. If you're going to remove it, don't remove it from any anti-spyware or anti-virus software coz it can remove your access form the internet. Remove it only from Add/Remove Programs in the control panel

Larry went to the newdotnet website and followed the instructions on how to uninstall. Seem like software was a good idea(adding more domains), but somewhere it took a realllllly bad turn.

WildDenim It disabled my Internet Explorer! Run.dll was missing from my Task Manager because of this. My computer was MUCH slower. Luckily, I found a way how to delete this. Just follow the error message to locate a folder (Where the message say where your run.dll is missing), then uninstall the newdot programs (DONT DELETE THE FOLDER YET!!). When you are done uninstalling each newdot programs then delete this folder. Restart as usual. Should be resolved.

LaDawna For 3 months I've not been able to use my computer because I Un-installed it - I now know it came with my qwest install program and i am pissed. All this time they've told me it was "MY" computer that was causing the problem. - I only discovered this because I put the same qwest program on an old win 98 computer (with nothing on it) to use....and quess what....I found "NewDot" and once again deleted it....The minute I did that - I could not get on the internet. How messed up is this?
