Thanks for the tips David, but I've already cleaned my system of
'Newdotnet'. It was difficult though. It apparently embeds in system32, and
leaches onto IE. When Spydoctor tries to delete it, NT shuts down the system
for restart. To eliminate it, I had to change the file from read only, and
remove protection from protected files in msconfig. But when I deleted the
Netdotnet file it also deleted some of the required files for IE. It
disabled internet access until I rebuilt the system.
I aquired this malware from a free cd/dvd burner available on 'download.com'
. It had a 96% approval rating. I did read the 4% disgruntals and they
informed me of this malware. But, being the knowitall of the 21st century, I
figured to clean it out after the download. ....Major mistake, I don't the
burner anyway, I just wanted to look at it. ,,,,,,Always, Jim
