Newdotnet tells you how to uninstall it. Sometimes their tech support people participate here. But they always say that you must uninstall it their way for no probs.

By removing it you will no longer be able to visit sites in these domains
      .shop .xxx .club .ltd
      .inc .travel .tech .sport
      .family .law .med .mp3
Not that I've ever met anyone who wants too.
