This time the wife installed something for UPromise... that's the only thing I can see where new.net may have come from... and the times match.
I knew that if you just delete the stuff, including the .DLL files, it'll screw up winsock...
So, I uninstalled it as per the directions of HijackThis to be on the safe side..
Everything was running just fine before uninstalling it. Now, Internet Explorer is all screwed up... I CANNOT open things in a new window... there is no back button.. My computer freezes if I click on anything that has to be opened while in IE..
Time to reformat and reinstall the primary partition. (fortunately I ghosted it, but it was months ago when I last backed it up)
Oh, and yes, I use Firefox, but my grad work requires me to use IE. I know of no workarounds for it.
Friggin spyware.
I'd go off on a major rant, but after seeing that new.net has sued Lavasoft for libel, I really don't want to speak my mind, especially the part where I wish for Osama to strike fear in our hearts by targetting the headquarters of these spyware companies.
