Overview:
NewDotNet is a browser hijacker and can update itself without any input from you. Anything that modifies your windows HOSTS file is a hijacker and we don't want it! The "purpose" of this is to add support for additional domains like .AGENT .INC .LOVE .SHOP .SPORT.

You need Ad-Aware and Sybot Search and Destroy on your machine. Try them first, if they don't clean it, go here. http://www.iamnotageek.com/a/400-p1.php

If the machine you are on now has a cd burner, download the needed programs and install them in the infected machine via that cd.

Save your money and get the free version of Xandros (http://www.xandros.com/products/shopping_home.html) and end your problems with viruses, worms, and spyware. You will need bittorrent to download it, or if you need I can send you a disc. It is easier to install than Microsoft Windows, and is much more secure. If you really like it you can buy the upgrades. You will still be able to use windows, then boot to Xandros and surf the web much safer.
