error message

[michele]

please help.....not sure how it happened but about a month
ago when i turned on my ibm thinkpad A21m with windows
2000 professional, i got an error message upon start up.
it was titled RUNDLL and the message within said "Error
loading C:\PROGRAM~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~1.DLL The specified
module could not be found" i clicked ok and then connected
to the internet using Earthlink. i then opened Internet
Explorer 5 and tried to open a webpage and was unable to
connect. it kept showing "This page cannot connect". this
happened with every webpage i tried to go to.....when i
tried to figure out what was wrong i discovered that my c
drive was "shared"...i am not on a network and did not
share the drive and have know idea how that could have
happened....any help will be extremely appreciated as i
cannot connect to the internet and do not know what the
module is that i am missing....thank you michele

You have been infected by New.Net.

It can be removed by using add/remove program from the
control panel.

Unfortunately Norton Antivirus doesn't detect it (but
AdAware will).

Best regards,
