Overview:
NewDotNet is a browser hijacker and can update itself without any input from
you. Anything that modifies your windows HOSTS file is a hijacker and we don't
want it! The "purpose" of this is to add support for additional domains like
.AGENT .INC .LOVE .SHOP .SPORT. We suggest you remove this.
This junk has become common enough for MS to
address it!
There is an option under the add/remove programs list. You should see
something called New.net Application or New.net Domains remove it that way. If
that fails they have an additional uninstall utility available
here. Make sure you
do both of these before proceeding or else you could end up having quite a few
issues with your browser!
Also Known As:
New.Net
Dialer-RAS.aj

Unregister DLLs:
Tip: this is only a list of known files/locations. You will want to do a
search by the name of the file to see if they're on your system.
A while back I wrote a guide to
Register/remove DLL or AX
files which you will need if you don't know how to unregister these files.
Each file
is in several locations so you'll need to search for them and unregister +
delete them in every location you find.
newdot~1.dll
newdot~2.dll
newdotnet3_36.dll
newdotnet3_70.dll
newdotnet3_88.dll
newdotnet4_50.dll
newdotnet4_85.dll
newdotnet4_88.dll
newdotnet5_20.dll
newdotnet5_48.dll
newdotnet6_22.dll
newdotnet6_30.dll
newdotnet6_38.dll
Folders to Remove:

Clean your Registry:
You should
be back to normal IF this was your only problem. I suggest you post in our HJT
forum since its not likely that this is your only bug.
