To remove New.net please follow these steps:

• Click on start, then settings and then control panel.
  
  
  
• Double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.
  
  
  
• Look through the installed programs for a program called New.Net or NewDotNet and double-click on the entry to uninstall it.

Once the computer has rebooted, start HijackThis and fix any of the corresponding entries for that program that are found. Note: If a O10 entry exists for NewDotNet, do not fix it via HijackThis, and instead ask for help in the forums. Fixing O10 entries in HijackThis can cause problems with your network connection.

Then reboot and delete the C:\Program Files\NewDotNet\ directory.

At this point you should be clean.

If you can not connect to the Internet after removing New.net, Please run the LSP-Fix program I had you download earlier, and click on the finish button. Reboot and you should be able to get back on.

Update!

The uninstaller from New.net is no longer available. It is then advised that you try to remove the program via add or remove programs and follow the rest of the instructions.

If there is no uninstall entry in Add or Remove Programs, then you should use LSP-Fix to remove the LSP listed in the 010 entry of HJT. Once that is removed and is no longer showing in a HJT log, you can delete the folder and fix the entries.

If you do not remove the LSP first, then the computer's Internet connection will be broken until you run LSP-Fix to repair it.
