I have this spyware in my computer that causes me grief when i boot up. It causes my puter to crash many times till I scan with my spy-bot. I am good till I shut down and then Its a battle trying again to reboot. The Item I am trying to get rid of is adware newdotnet. If anyone has any solutions or good spyware used for this perticular problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Hello rotlve and Welcome to Geeks To Go!

* Click here to download HJTsetup.exe
  • Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
  • Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
  • Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
  • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
  • Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
  • At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
I would like you to generate a "Add/Remove Software list" log using the HijackThis application. Here is how you can do this:


* Open Hijackthis, In the lower right corner click the "Config..." (Configuration) button.
* Once in the "Configuration" panel, click "Misc Tools" button.
* Then click the "Open Uninstall Manager..." button.
* The "Add/Remove Programs Manager" panel should appear.
* In this panel click the "Save list" button.
* Save the "uninstall_list.txt" file to its default location.
* Then copy and paste the notepad text that appears in the generated "unistall_list.txt" file in a reply to this post.

In your next reply, please include these log(s):

* HijackThis Uninstall List
* HijackThis log (new)


Also, please let me know how things are running now and if you encountered any problems while you were following the instructions I posted.
