peasepud 59 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 This is a twat of a Spyware this one so could require more than just the following: First go into Add/Remove Programs and look for NewDotNet and remove it. Then reboot, after that you'll need to download the following: http://www.winsockfix.nl/winsockxpfix.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo 23 Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Mate, I don't have NewDotNet in the list of the Add & Removie programs Should I just click on the link and follow the procedures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo 23 Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Andy, I did what you said. Spybot couldn't find anything, so I downloaded hijackthis. I used it, clicked on all the boxes that appeared and clicked on fix problems. Should I have done that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 0 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) If you run the program and look in the options, there should be some kind of "run on startup" button kicking around somewhere. Re-tick that. Personally though, I would uninstall Avast and just download AVG free edition instead. Edited January 2, 2006 by Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
